How to import a pst file into mac mail

To import a PST file into Mac Mail, you'll need to use a third-party tool or a built-in feature in macOS. Here are the steps:

Method 1: Using Microsoft Outlook for Mac

  1. Download and install Microsoft Outlook for Mac from the Microsoft website.
  2. Launch Outlook and go to File > Open & Export > Import/Export.
  3. Select "Export to a file" and choose PST file format.
  4. Select the PST file you want to import and click "Next".
  5. Choose the mailbox you want to import the data into (e.g., your Mac Mail account).
  6. Click "Finish" to start the import process.

Method 2: Using a third-party tool

  1. Download and install a PST file converter tool, such as:
    • PST Viewer (free)
    • PST Converter (paid)
    • MailConverter (paid)
  2. Launch the tool and select the PST file you want to import.
  3. Choose the format you want to convert the PST file to (e.g., MBOX, EML, or MSG).
  4. Select the mailbox you want to import the data into (e.g., your Mac Mail account).
  5. Follow the tool's instructions to complete the import process.

Method 3: Using the built-in "Mail" app in macOS

  1. Connect your Mac to the same network as your Windows PC or laptop where the PST file is located.
  2. Open the "Mail" app on your Mac and go to File > Import Mailboxes.
  3. Select "Other" as the mailbox type and click "Continue".
  4. Choose the PST file you want to import and click "Import".
  5. Follow the prompts to complete the import process.

Note: The built-in "Mail" app in macOS only supports importing MBOX files, so you may need to use a third-party tool to convert the PST file to MBOX format first.

After importing the PST file, you can access the emails, contacts, and other data in your Mac Mail account.
