How Can You Import Olm to Outlook 2010 Without Much Trouble

Want to import Olm to Outlook 2010?

Did you receive an Olm file via email on your Windows PC with Outlook 2010?

Or did you archive the Mac Outlook data to an Olm file and wants to import Olm to Outlook 2010?

In all those situations, unfortunately, you can’t import the file to Windows Outlook 2010 directly. This is because the Olm file is the data file for Mac Outlook only, and is not readable by any other app other than Mac Outlook. This is unfortunate because most users who haven’t migrated data before rarely expect this. It’s always a little surprise to find that Outlook for Mac and Windows have different data files that aren’t compatible.

So the option left is to convert the Olm file to the Outlook 2010 Windows supporting file, which is Pst (personal storage table) format.

To migrate data internally, there is an option that includes using a server of an email account.

It goes like this – you create a new dummy IMAP account, sync the data from Mac Outlook to the server using the account, and then sync back from the server to the Windows Outlook client.

But the advantages end there. It is an extremely lengthy process, requires high data usage to sync data two times (Uploading and Downloading), and often ends up with incomplete migration. The data you will find on the other end (Windows Outlook) won’t exactly match the source (Mac Outlook).

Therefore, it is quiet known in the industry by now that manually moving data from Mac Outlook to Windows Outlook is much worse than using a third party tool to convert Olm file to Outlook 2010 Pst files.
