OLM to PST Converter

Outlook for mac and outlook for windows are most common email application elected by users. MS Outlook for Windows & Mac both these email clients are designed by same organization but still users prefer Outlook for windows more as compared to mac Outlook. To clarify the picture here are few points that clearly explain why Outlook for windows is more preferred over mac Outlook.

Point of Discussions:

File Format: Mac Outlook and windows Outlook both are component of same office suite i.e. Microsoft. We know that every email client has their own process of storing information. So, Outlook for windows uses PST file format to store user mailbox information and Outlook for mac uses OLM files for the same purpose. It’s easier to handle PST file as compared to OLM file that is why Outlook for windows is favored over mac.

File Location:  MS Outlook for windows creates a PST file at users machine that is easily approachable and more easy to use while mac outlook don’t create a file i.e. approachable and exist physically on user‘s machine. In case if any problem occur with OLM file then user must need a technical expert to troubleshoot error. Such type of issue is not faced by Outlook user.

Machine Obtain-ability:  Mac machines are rare to find and of course their maintenance expense is not affordable by everyone. Secondly to troubleshoot mac machine errors every time there is need to call a guy with technical expertise in mac machine.
If I talk about windows machine then scenario is totally changed. Windows machine are easy to handle as related to mac machines and also obtainable to users. Most important windows machine provides their users a cool and user friendly interface.

Machine’s Configuration: Every machine is bundled with different type of hardware and software configurations. Few of them are according to user needs while few are installed by users. Additions and deletion of software and hardware features is only available with windows machines and moreover windows users can avail benefits of some freeware also. Mac users can not avail such type of freeware features.

After reading self-explanatory points I am sure now most of mac outlook users are thinking of migration from mac outlook to outlook windows. To convert OLM file in PST file format user can follow manual method i.e. explained below:

•  Firstly create an IMPA account
• Set up your mac outlook with IMAP account.
• After creating account move mailbox data from Mac Outlook to IMAP mailbox
• Now migrate all IMAP data to Windows Outlook

NOTE: Wait till process completes

After performing migration using manual method have a look whether all data has been migrated successfully or still some data is missing. No doubt manual method is free of cost available to user but has some drawbacks. Manual methods will not ensure users about successful migration and data security. It may be possible while performing migration user may lose some data. To overcome this problem it would me more preferable to use a professional OLM to PST file converter software.
