Stellar Converter for OLM- Product Review

MS Outlook is available for both Windows and Mac platforms. However, Outlook on both platforms uses different Outlook data files to store the mailbox items, such as emails, attachments, contacts, tasks, calendar items, etc.

On Mac, Outlook stores the offline copy of mailbox items in the OLM file, while on Windows, it uses the OST file. However, on both platforms, it supports a common Outlook data file format, i.e. PST (Personal Storage Table), which you can use to backup or migrate the mailbox items from Outlook for Mac to Outlook for Windows and vice-versa.

However, Outlook on Mac does not provide any tool or option to convert or export the Outlook for Mac mailbox data, i.e. OLM to PST.

Thus, to convert OLM to PST, you need a third-party OLM to PST converter software, such as Stellar Converter for OLM. And in this post, we have reviewed the software in detail and how you can use it to back up or migrate your Mac Outlook data to Windows Outlook or Office 365 accounts.

Overview

The software allows you to convert OLM files to PST within a few minutes and in just a few clicks. The software extracts all mailbox items such as emails, attachments, contacts, calendar, tasks, notes, etc. with 100% precision and can save them to multiple file formats such as PST, MSG, EML, PDF, and HTML.

The performance of software mostly depends on the system hardware. However, Stellar Converter for OLM doesn’t require a high-end system configuration to run. The software is optimized to run on any system powered by following minimum software and hardware requirements,

However, if the OLM file is large, you can boost the OLM to PST conversion process by installing the software on a system equipped with better hardware. The time required to convert OLM mailbox items to PST varies from a few minutes to a few hours (depends on OLM file size).

After the conversion, you can preview and check the mailbox items, which saves time and helps you efficiently select and export only the required mail items.

Besides, you can choose to directly export the mail items from OLM to Office 365, which will save a lot of time, compared with the process of performing intermediate steps of exporting PST and then importing PST in Office 365.
