MacOS – Transferring from Outlook to Apple Mail (OLM to Mbox)

apple-mailmacosmboxmicrosoft-outlook

I recently had to transfer my emails from Outlook to Mail on OSX/Mac. All the articles I found online seem to be recommending utilities that cost money and I'd like to know if this can be done without spending money or using a utility.

So, how do I (or, can I) transfer my Outlook mail (OLM) to the Apple Mail program (Mbox)?

Best Answer

It turns out you can simply drag and drop your mail folders to a folder in Finder. This will automatically create an Mbox file, as illustrated below.

You can now simply import the Mbox file in Apple Mac by going to File > Import Mailboxes > Files in Mbox format > Continue > Select the Mbox file > Choose > Done.

Your old inbox will now be available under the Import folder, as below:
