How to get back up of pst to mac mail
To import a PST file to Mac Mail, you'll need to use a third-party tool or a built-in feature in Mac Mail. Here are the steps for both methods:
Method 1: Using a Third-Party Tool
- Download and install a PST converter tool, such as:
- PST2Mail (free)
- PST Importer (free)
- MailMate (paid)
- Launch the tool and select the PST file you want to import.
- Follow the tool's instructions to convert the PST file to a format compatible with Mac Mail (e.g., MBOX or EML).
- Once the conversion is complete, open Mac Mail and go to File > Import Mailboxes.
- Select the converted file (MBOX or EML) and follow the import process.
Method 2: Using Mac Mail's Built-in Feature
- Open Mac Mail and go to File > Import Mailboxes.
- Select Other from the dropdown menu.
- Choose PST as the file type and select the PST file you want to import.
- Click Import to start the import process.
- Mac Mail will convert the PST file to a format compatible with Mac Mail (MBOX).
- Once the import is complete, you can access the imported emails in your Mac Mail account.
Tips and Considerations
- Make sure you have the correct PST file, as importing the wrong file can cause data loss or corruption.
- If you have a large PST file, the import process may take some time.
- Some PST files may contain formatting or encoding issues that can cause problems during import. In this case, using a third-party tool may be a better option.
- If you're importing a PST file from an Outlook account, you may need to use a tool that can handle Outlook's proprietary format.
