Converting Email from Mac Entourage (.mbox) to Outlook (.pst)

Is there any possible solution available for importing entourage 2008 .mbox files to outlook pst (office 2010).

I have already tried the import function and other methods available online but have failed every time.


I dont want many but one solution that will be able to transfer over 5000 mails in one go or as few steps as possible.

MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.4)

You would need a third party solution to create a .pst file. You can export as .mbox file. This is a cross platform file format and you should be able to import into Outlook on Windows.


There are several tools that can do this. One is Entourge to Windows Outlook


The easiest option is to use an IMAP account for the transfer. Move the messages from your "On My Computer" folders to an IMAP account then add the IMAP account to Outlook on Windows and the messages will download.

What kind of email account? IMAP or POP?

Any IMAP email accounts should be easy as you will just need to add the email account to Apple Mail as any messages and folders should be on the email server.

For POP, then you will need to do some sort of export/import. You could try "drag and drop" from Outlook to Mail. I believe this will work, but I don't fully recall.

Bulk mail transfer can be done best with the help of applications.

Here is one I am aware of:- Entourage to Outlook

I hope this helps you
