Export Outlook 2011 Emails into Outlook Pst Format Easily

Outlook 2011 is an email client by Microsoft, launched in 2010 by replacing Microsoft's Entourage client. It is the first native version of Outlook for Mac OS X. Microsoft released several updates to improve Outlook 2011, but didn't release completely new version until last year. On 9 July 2015, it released Office 2016 for Mac and on 22 September 2015 for Windows.

This article focuses on Outlook 2011 as it is still the most installed clients in Mac. However, if you are looking to convert Outlook 2016 data to Pst files, you can still use this approach as 2011 and 2016 are not very different in terms of their data files.

Outlook 2011 is a great email client that has come close to its Windows counterpart, but not quiet there. Nevertheless, it was very well received and till today, many Mac users are using it with satisfaction. It works impressively well for email management and everything seems fine.

Moving from Mac Outlook to Windows Outlook

This whole system is thrown into chaos as soon as the Mac user is changing gears by making a transfer from Mac to Windows.

The biggest headache of such a switchover is migrating data from email clients, which in most cases is from Outlook 2011 Mac to Outlook 2010 Windows. The other type of files (data or media) are not that complicated and you'd easily find programs that can open them. But with email data files (except generic files like Mbox), you don't get to enjoy any compatibility.

Olm and Pst files are archived and data file of Mac Outlook and Windows Outlook respectively. And they are not interchangeable at all. You cannot simply use the Olm file with Windows Outlook and hope it works.

The interesting thing is that the Pst file can be imported to Mac Outlook, but there is no support for Olm file in Windows Outlook...yet.

Anyway, so that's the issue that comes up with email migration involving these two clients. And it has been bugging the entire community and those who want to migrate their data for many years.

It's not like there are no solutions. But they are very limited in scope, hard to use, and do not migrate data safely. You can find a mountain of data errors, like unreadable text, broken images, messed up folder hierarchy, and so on. The story of awful data migration experiences are all over the internet and you can read them right now.

Experts would always recommend to use a professional software to convert the data, and avoid doing it manually. It is not about the convenience or lack therefore of manual migration methods, but that they are not worth any pain. You spend hours trying to manually pick and drag and move each item, and for what? For incomplete migration with multiple glitches with output files.

Therefore, it's a no-brainer to choose a good third party converter.
