It lets you make an MBOX file that has all the necessary mailbox stuff. Once you&#8217;ve got that, you just need to slide it into Apple Mail. Easy right? Let&#8217;s break it down:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_1_Export_Outlook_OLM_File_on_Mac\"><\/span>Step 1: Export Outlook OLM File on Mac<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>First, <strong>Open up your Outlook for Mac<\/strong> on your computer.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Then, <strong>find the folder<\/strong> with all the data you <strong>want to move<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>After that, <strong>grab those items<\/strong> and <strong>drop them onto your computer<\/strong>.
