Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
I am used to having a PST file as a folder in Outlook for windows, I have rules that move unread mail to the PST folders so that mailbox never gets full.
How do I create a similar archive system in Outlook for Mac 2016?

Hi,
I found no direct way of converting your mails in Outlook Mac (that are stored in .olm format) to PST. There aren't much tool that do this conversion on a MAC too. I searched for quite sometime and ended up with this article:

I took a free trial and it worked quite impressively.
It is named OLM to PST Converter Ultimate.
Hope this helps.

Have you checked on the Microsoft forums.
You might find more people that actually use it there.
Also, the Mac version doesn't use a PST, so that might not be the correct search term. It stores the info in a SQLite database which doesn't suffer from PST bloat like on Windows.
That link is for the Windows version.
Still trying to find out and reading online.
Mac Outlook uses a file named ".olm" instead of ".pst"
To create one (the File>More Items...>Outlook Data File menu being missing on Mac Outlook):
You will now be able to do such advanced things as create 'New Contact Group' and the details will be stored in the local file.
