Summary: This article will explain why so many users are now switching from Mac Outlook to MS Outlook. Also, learn how to export your files from Outlook for Mac to Outlook using manual and software-based methods.

How to Import OLM File to Windows Outlook?

You may have Microsoft Outlook installed on a Mac or Windows computer. However, information for each mailbox, irrespective of the platform, is saved in its unique format – a Microsoft Outlook data file. When you use Outlook for Mac, the contents of your mailbox are protected in a file with an OLM extension. However, when you use Outlook for Windows, the mail items are saved in either an OST or a PST file. Since the OLM file is only compatible with Mac machines, you cannot access it using Microsoft Outlook for Windows. To gain access and to examine the contents of a Mac Outlook file, you’ll need to use software that can import OLM file to Windows Outlook PST file.

Read on to know more.

  • Final Words on How to Import OLM file to Windows Outlook

Why do we need to transfer Outlook Files from Mac to MS Outlook for Windows?

To view your Mac Outlook emails in Windows Outlook, you must first convert your OLM file to an Outlook PST. This is because you cannot access the OLM file using MS Outlook for Windows. Data transfer from Mac Outlook to Windows Outlook is necessary for several reasons, such as:

  • When migrating from iOS to Windows
  • When trying to share files from Mac OS to Windows
  • Collaborating with peers who are using Windows

How to Import OLM File to Windows Outlook?

For anyone looking for a manual solution for importing OLM to Outlook for Windows, the answer lies in the IMAP server, which acts as a mediator between Mac and Windows. The IMAP server can receive remote files between two email clients. There are 5 steps involved in importing files to windows from Outlook.

Step 1: Create IMAP Account with Gmail Account

  • You can also use any old account for this task.
  • However, you must ensure that all IMAP settings are activated in this account. If not, it may create problems later on.

Step 2: Configure IMAP Account in Mac Outlook

  • Open Outlook for Mac, click on “Tools”, and click on the “Accounts” tab.
  • Select the “+” option. This will add a new account in the Accounts tab.
  • Next, select the email option and enter the following details: email address, and password.
  • Then enter “imap.gmail.com” as “Incoming Server”
  • Select the “Use SSL connect” tab and enter “smtp.gmail.com,” which will act as an outgoing server.
  • Click on 465 in the “Outgoing port” and select the Add account option.
  • You will be prompted with a yellow button on the left pane, asking you to enter the password. The button turns green if the password entered is correct, confirming that the connection is complete.

Step 3: Import OLM File to Windows Outlook

  • Select the folder you wish to transfer to windows Outlook from OLM, and then select the “Copy” option.
  • Select the folder in your Gmail where you wish to transfer all the required data.
  • Once the files are uploaded, refresh your Gmail account.

Step 4: Configure the same Gmail account to Windows Outlook

  • Open Outlook and go to the File menu.
  • Click on “Account Settings” in the right pane.
  • Then, click on New tab from the window that is currently opened.
  • Check “Manually Setup or additional server type” prompt.
  • Look for the “Internet email” option and provide login details.
  • Select “Account type” as IMAP.
  • Enter incoming server as “imap.gmail.com”.
  • Enter outgoing server as “smtp.gmail.com”.
  • Click on “More Settings” option.
  • Select the tab “My outgoing server requires authentication” under “Outgoing server.”
  • Under the “Advance” tab, enter the value of the incoming service port as 993.
  • Select the SSL as encryption type.
  • Enter 465 as port number in the “Outgoing server port” tab.
  • Click ‘Ok’.
  • Select the “test account settings” option.
  • Click on the “Finish” tab and you are done.

Step 5: Transfer all the data into the mailbox of Windows Outlook from your email account.

Since you have already configured the email account in your Windows outlook, you can now transfer the OLM data directly to Outlook for Windows application.

Limitations of Manual Method

It is important to remember that the manual method of importing OLM files to MS Outlook is not ideal for every case. If you’re using a Mac device, you’ll need Outlook for Mac to complete the conversion and Outlook for Windows. This means that you need to have access to two devices. It also involves a significant amount of configuration, which might take a long time and does not guarantee 100% success. Moreover, the user must have good technical prowess to use this method. Therefore, it is not suitable for beginners.

Import OLM File to Windows Outlook with a Professional, Safer Method

Outlook for Mac and Windows both allow storing your mailbox data in a wide variety of file formats. A user must thus convert OLM to PST format to view it in Windows Outlook. The question is, “How can we accomplish this conversion?”

Internet users have many pieces of software at their disposal for a range of uses. Determining which option is better than the rest has always been challenging. We propose trying Stellar Converter for OLM to make this procedure substantially easier. The software is one of the most popular tools available. It allows users to convert files without encountering any issues or losing any information.

Stellar Converter for OLM helps you create a Unicode Personal Storage Table (PST) file from any OLM file and is compatible with MS Outlook 2019, 2016, 2013, 2010, 2007, and 2003. You can install the software on any recent Windows OS (Windows 11, Windows 10, 8.1, and 7) without any issues. It will easily convert an OLM file carrying emails, contacts, calendars, notes, tasks, and journals to an Outlook-compatible format. The best part of using Stellar Converter for OLM is that it is completely safe and helps you convert OLM files into PST format quickly without any hassle.

Final Words on How to Import OLM file to Windows Outlook

If you wish to import OLM files to MS Outlook, opt for an error-free and reliable converter tool always. There’s also a manual method of using IMAP to carry out the conversion. However, it comes with various complexities, and we won’t be recommending it. So choose a smarter and safer alternative for OLM to PST conversion and download Stellar Converter for OLM today.
