Import Mac Mail to Outlook 365 Quick, Easy and Accurately

Import Mac Mail to Outlook 365 using Mail Extractor Pro

Outlook 365 is a part of Microsoft Office 365, which is a group of products and subscriptions. If you have subscribed for Office 365, you get the office products (like word, excel, outlook, cloud storage, etc.) and depending on the type of subscription, you can install them on several Mac and/or Windows machines. With Office 365, you also always get updated version of these office apps.

There are users whose work depend heavily on these apps, especially Outlook. And there is always this criticism that Mac variant of Outlook is not that good as compared to its Windows counterpart. Therefore, there are many users switching from Mac computers to Windows’, more so in the work environment.

If you are also moving to Windows and are interested in Office 365 (or already have the subscription), you might want to know few things in regards to Outlook and email migration.

Import Mac Mail to Outlook 365 with ease

Importing from Mac Mail (the most popular client in Mac) to Outlook 365 in Windows can be hard work. This is because the files that are used for these email clients are not compatible with each other. Mac Mail email database is not compatible with Outlook in Windows (which uses Pst).

Note* – The Outlook that’s currently included in Outlook 365 is Outlook 2016/2019 version. You can also buy Outlook 2016/2019 as opposed to subscribing to Office 365. But then you won’t be able to use it on multiple devices. Microsoft has always pushed their products as services and therefore you would find many benefits if you go for subscription instead of buying standalone apps.
