emailfile conversionmail.appms office
I don't like the series Mail/iCal from Apple, reason why I bought Outlook 2016 for Mac. I was able to transfer the contacts but I am facing difficulties transferring the email database. It seems that outlook doesn't support the email format of the apple mail.
Is there a way to transfer all the emails with their categories from Apple Mail to Outlook 2016 for Mac ?
Setting Default mail Client tells your system to use that one when requesting email from other applications. (outside of Email).
While in Email (Outlook or Mail) they will do as told.
In your case using MS Office Word, Excel, PowerPoint with email link in one of the documents, will by default use the chosen default mail client.
There is a simple work around. Since you are probably not using heavy duty MS Office applications to handle your Mail.app but do so with Outlook, I would make the Outlook the default mail application. Now you can use Mail as email and Outlook will be the default mail client for your work.

Apple Mail archives its database in .mbox format and outlook for mac can only import either .pst or .olm format files. It definitely cannot import emails exported from apple mail. If you have an Imap enabled account then you can directly sign in to the outlook mac, it might take a while depending on your email database size, your files will start uploading.
You can take alternatives as well, where some application are available that can convert the file format. Here is one I found online: http://mailexporterpro.com/
I hope this suits your needs.
