I found a simple way after reading posts/online articles. From Outlook, drag the folder that is in your .pst file to your computer, it may take a minute depending upon how many emails are there. I have 12 folders, so now I have 12 .mbox files on my desktop. Import these files from Mail, File, Import Mailboxes, select .mbox and that's it. Worked for me.

Migration of Windows Outlook PST File to Apple mail can be done with the manual method. User just needs some technical knowledge. However, In case if the user is not technically strong then they can use third party tool like Stellar PST to MBOX Converter for Mac.

Note: I don’t have any prior experience with this software so I suggest you use its demo version.

You can get its demo version from: https://www.stellarinfo.com/email-tools/outlook-to-apple-mail.php

Limitations of Manual Process to Import Outlook PST File to Apple Mail

1) Technical Expertise Required:

The migration process requires an in-depth understanding of Thunderbird folder location and migration.

2) Confusing Process:

The process to import Outlook to Apple Mail is not for a home or non-technical user.

3) Data Integrity Not Ensured:

There are chances that some data may be lost if steps are not followed correctly.

4) Not a Professional Approach:

Companies require that each migrated data must be in the exact same format as in the original context. The Outlook to Apple Mail conversion process must be without any data loss for legal purposes.


The manual solution can be applied for a limited number of emails. It is not an adequate choice for moving mailboxes across platforms in an organization.
