Summary: Microsoft Outlook email client can be used on both Windows and Mac, however, both platforms store mailbox data in different kinds of data files. While on Mac, Outlook data is stored within OLM files and on Windows, it is stored within PST files. Here, we identify several reasons why users may wish to convert OLM file to PST format.
The OLM file extension is specific to Outlook for Mac and it was introduced with Outlook 2011 for Mac. Its purpose and usage are the same as that of MS Outlook PST files on Windows. This implies that it stores all mailbox data such as Inbox, Calendars, Contacts, etc. Since the OLM file is specific to Mac, it cannot be opened through Windows Outlook. Thus, if a user has recently switched from a Mac to a Windows-based machine, he may experience issues accessing his mailbox data stored in OLM file through Outlook’s Windows version.
To access his emails, contacts, etc. the user will need to convert OLM to PST format and then import the resultant PST file into Windows Outlook.
Steps to Manually Convert OLM to PST
In order to convert OLM to PST, you first need to locate the physical OLM file. The default location of the OLM can be either of these two system locations:
DocumentsMicrosoft User DataOffice 2011 IdentitiesMain IdentityDatabases
Adobe Reader For Mac
Or,
DocumentsMicrosoft User Data MS Office 2011 IdentitiesMain IdentityData-RecordsMessage
But there’s a catch. Even after you navigate to the above mentioned hard drive locations, you won’t be able to locate the OLM file physically there. To access it, you will need to create it by saving the mailbox data in the OLM format. Here are the steps to do so:
- In the drive location indicated above, click on File -> Select Export. This will open a new Export window
- Select all data displayed at the location
- A new option “Delete items after exporting” appears. Check “Do not want to delete item” option.
- Now “Save As” option will appear. Select the Destination Location where you want to save your OLM File
- Click on Save
Once the OLM file has been created, it can be converted into PST format using the below mentioned steps —
Note: In this method, the IMAP Server is used as an intermediate between Mac Outlook and Windows Outlook. It is similar to using a storage device between two computers for copying the files. IMAP Server is used because it can receive remote files.

- Enter the Outgoing port as 465 and then click on Add account
- On the left side of the pane, a yellow button is seen which shows the connection is being made. It turns green if the password keyed-in is correct and the connection is made.
Step 3: Migrate mailbox data from Mac Outlook to Gmail
- Right-click on the mailbox folder you wish to migrate and click on Copy
