Q – I have been using Outlook for Mac from many years. Now, I get bored of it and I decided to move to Windows platform. I use Outlook email application which I don’t want to leave. Can anyone suggest how can I export data from Outlook Mac to Outlook PST in Windows? Please suggest me a safe solution so that all my data can be securely exported.

I understood your problem. You just want to move to Outlook Mac data to Outlook PST. Both are technically same but store files in different file formats – Mac Outlook stores data in OLM whereas Windows Outlook in PST format. You can simply export your Mac data into Windows PST using manual methods.

  • Create an IMAP account on Gmail or ICloud
