2. Export from Mac Mail: In Mac Mail, go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts > [Your Account Name] > Advanced. Select "Export" and choose "Export Mailbox" from the dropdown menu. Choose a location to save the export file (e.g., "Exported Mailbox.emlx").
3. Import into Outlook: In Outlook, go to File > Open & Export > Import/Export. Select "Export to a file" and choose the "Comma Separated Values (Windows)" format. Browse to the export file you created in step 2 and select it. Follow the prompts to import the data into Outlook.
