Outlook 2016 Mac – How to Switch to Apple Mail

emailmail.appms officesoftwaresoftware-recommendation

I have been using the mac for a long time, earlier I used Entourage as my email client, then came the Outlook 2011 for Mac and now its Outlook 2016 for Mac.

Due to some official guidelines I now need to switch over to Apple Mail. This includes transferring my database from Outlook 2016 Mac to Apple Mail.

Question
As I am completely unaware of this process, I am looking for some help in terms of what I need to do to migrate to Apple Mail. A simple and faster approach will be more preferable.

Best Answer

There is no easy way to do that.

To import Outlook data in Mail though, most of the time, the easiest is to go through an IMAP or Exchange account configured in both apps.

Copy all the messages you need from Outlook to that account, and it should sync back to Mail.

The other option is already mentioned above to use third-party applications. One application that I felt had some interesting features is OLM Converter Pro.

Its Ultimate version can migrate your Outlook 2016 Mac emails directly to Apple Mail.

Choose your pick wisely. Thanks.
