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)?

  • Thanks for your question Andre. I've removed the software request portion of your question as that is very much against the rules here on SuperUser. As you already figured out a good answer that does not require a utility, free or otherwise, this should help keep this good question here. Feb 10, 2017 at 23:28

  • Outlook offers an Export option in the File menu, but I'm not certain if it allows exporting emails

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:
