How can I convert an outlook pst file to mac mail without using a windows based computer

I recently bought the new iMac as my older Windows based computer crashed with a bad motherboard. I have been trying to find a way to convert Outlook 2007 pst files to Mac Mail without the need to use a Windows based computer since all I have now is a Mac. I have the copies of the pst files on my Mac, so I am looking for the most efficient way to convert them to the format that I can then open them in the Mac Mail. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi - thanks for the instructions but where do you get the option for Quicktime. If I do File - Export I only get the options for File name, place and size but no option that allows to select quicktime:-(
Have you got any more tips?

Convert client Outlook 2007 .ost to Outlook 2007 .pst

I apologize up front as I know through reading and general experience that this problem has probably been asked every which way a million times. I have looked through the Exchange General faq2 listing and did not find it defined as such however.
My immediate need issue is this, I have a small network of five clients with Office 2007 on a new SBS2008 server domain.
Unfortunately Three months elapsed between the time service contract was signed and original installation. While setting up server backup for first time, problems with original install were noted and then backup trashed the data storage drive while initializing for first time. Great fun ensued and to the point, the server crashed and was reloaded and reinstalled onsite. The data on the storage drive was reinstalled from a recovery software USB drive.
The core issue in short is that clients HW/general software did not change, but server/ domain/ client ID'/ client profiles/ exchange server ect... did.
Now all clients have been rejoined to the "New" server and all is well, past that point including the darned 2008 backup. But I have a severe problem of having on each client computer three months of outlook 2007 offline mail items on a ghost profile I can not access due to it being on a ghost domain. It's all there as it was the day the server crashed, but totally inaccessible to my knowledge.
The exchange server does not see the mail as it never received it, so any of the known to me Microsoft outlook .pst/ost repair tools would not work as their is nothing to fix as far as they would know from the exchange servers poiont of view.
I need something to go in and convert the old Outlook Offline .ost files to .pst files so they can be read by the current profiles outlook installation and the individual mail items, calendars, ect… simply migrated over to the new profiles offline file.
I have complete access to the files needing conversion and can take ownership but lack any working tool to convert the .ost files to something readable to the current Outlook / Exchange profiles.
There is tonnage of software to do this. But it costs an arm and a leg and i am just trying to see if their is another Microsoft way of doing this.
P.S. if not, their needs to be! Orphaned .ost files happen a lot for a lot of reasons.

Google OST2PST. Maybe it'll work for you.

Which conversion software can I download to mac to convert outlook .pst files to mac .mbox files?

Can anyone recommend software I can ddownload to an iMac to convert outlook .pst files stored on a memory stick to .mbox files for transfer to mac mail? I have mail files I set up in outlook I need to transfer to my new mac, but have no internet connection on pc, so can't download anything on to it and have had to export .pst files to a usb stick.

Will I be able to get my (Mac sourced) songs and podcasts onto the IPOD from the sharing Windows computer?
No, iTunes library sharing only allows you to listen to music in the shared library.
Another question: is there any way to duplicate my actual song files to the Windows XP computer so that I don't have to turn on the Mac in order for itunes to function on the XP machine? All my song files are on the Mac.
Yes, use the network to copy the files from the Mac to the PC.

After Install of Office Pro 2013 Plus from downloaded iso file Outlook can't find any outlook.pst

Have just installed - apparently error-free - Office 2013Pro Plus. Can't open Outlook because it's missing the dataset C:\users\xyz...\documents\outlook-data\OUTLOOK.PST.
There is NO outlook.pst on the entire computer, in other words it seems that the install didn't create any.
An attempted "repair" in System control worked fine, but didn't handle the outlook.pst issue.
Any idea what to do? Many thanks and kind regards
Happy 2014!

Was this a fresh installation or a re-install / recovery, as on a fresh install there wouldn't already be a .pst configured until you'd done the initial account setup process and configured a mailbox. If it's a fresh install are you sure it's a legitimate
installation?
When you first start Outlook you should be presented with the account setup wizard, which then configures your first account and creates any required data files for your mailbox.
If that's already been done but isn't working, the simplest thing to try initially is to remove the configured profile(s) from Outlook and then start from fresh. Run "Mail (32-bit)" and on the window that appears click Show Profiles. Remove any and all profiles
listed on that screen, and then click OK. Now open Outlook again and since there's no profiles configured you should be taken to the initial setup wizard where you can configure the mailbox and the relevant files will be created.

What is the easiest method to convert your Outlook Mail from MS Office 2011 for mac, into Apple Mail?

What is the easiest method to convert your Outlook Mail from MS Office 2011 for Mac, into Apple Mail?

As best I can see from googling it, there is NO easy direct way with Apple's builtin tools. If you Google it you will find that many software companies are selling Apps specifically designed for this purpose. Good luck.
Hope this helps

How to convert lotus notes .nsf to outlook .pst?

Dear guru,
I'm looking for the way to convert my notes email archive(.nsf) to outlook mail file. I found that there are some commercial 3rd party tool doing this job which is tooooo expensive for me. Is there any good way to convert .nsf to .pst or to move my mail data to outlook for FREE?
I tried a method which uses localhost mail server to send notes mail to outlook locally by IMAP(http://www.benshoemate.com/2007/11/09/how-to-upload-all-your-old-archived-email-to-gmail-from-outlook-lotus-notes-and-unix-pine/) but failed because my company blocked IMAP and POP3 incoming for security reason.
I'm using lotus notes 7.0.2 and Outlook 2007. Does notes connector work for this problem?
Thx.

If I talk about free lotus notes migration apps then online records are showing that there are no free tools yet for lotus notes archive migration. Microsoft has a connecter suit (free) for same that allows migrating of configured notes database file to
ms outlook. External tools are playing very important role here with perfection and satisfaction.
Among all, Export Notes is a very low cost and feature-rich solution that assures accuracy of migrated data.
It allows all types of nsf (mail database.nsf, archive.nsf, names.nsf) file migration
into ms outlook pst file as well as Exchange Server (business version) even the data is inside All Documents folder or encrypted.

Converting Email from Mac Entourage (.mbox) to Outlook (.pst)

Is there any possible solution available for importing entourage 2008 .mbox files to outlook pst (office 2010).
I have already tried the import function and other methods available online but have failed every time.
I dont want many but one solution that will be able to transfer over 5000 mails in one go or as few steps as possible.

What kind of email account? IMAP or POP?
Any IMAP email accounts should be easy as you will just need to add the email account to Apple Mail as any messages and folders should be on the email server.
For POP, then you will need to do some sort of export/import. You could try "drag and drop" from Outlook to Mail. I believe this will work, but I don't fully recall.
Bulk mail transfer can be done best with the help of applications.
Here is one I am aware of:- Entourage to Outlook
I hope this helps you

Convert Multiple Outlook Emails to Multiple PDF Files (Not Portfolio or Single PDF) for Archiving?

Hi all, I am learning how to convert emails to PDF files and there is some great functionality there!! I have not discovered how to convert multiple outlook emails into multiple PDF files (one PDF file for each email) - all at the same time (not one at a time)!! Is there a way to do this using Acrobat X?? The purpose of this is for long-term business archiving. When I search for an email in the archive, I do not want to pull up a portfolio containing 1000 emails or a 1000 page PDF file with multiple emails run together!!! I want to pull up individual emails containing my search terms. I have been searching for a way to archive emails and MS OUTLOOK .PST files are NOT the answer. I get a lot of business emails with large attachments and I do not file my emails in separate sub-folders (by client or job). I want to convert multiple emails (by date range) from my UNIVERSAL INBOX into multiple PDF files for long term storage (with each email being converted into its own, separate PDF file and named with the same name as the "Re: line" of the email). This has been a HUGE problem for me....and Acrobat is sooooo close to the solution for me. Can anyone help?? If so, will attachments be converted? If not, is there a separate software program or add-in that I can buy that will do this?? I use MS Office 2010, Adobe Acrobat X Pro, Windows 7 64 BIT. Thanks for your help!!

I am a retired person and did'nt realize I already have a Adobe account, so you can scrap the entire information. Thanks for the trial anyway and have a great week.

How do I convert .Olm to .Pst?

I would like to take all my emails from Mac Outlook and place them into Microsoft Office (Outlook 2010).
How do I go about it? Am not hugely techy :-)
All help and advice welcome

Hey Paul,
I think the trouble that you are in now can only be accomplished by taking the assistance of a third-party tool. I was using this software by the name of “Outlook Mac Exporter” a few months back which proficiently converted my all Mac OLM to PST Windows’s files along with the Headers, Properties, Attachments of OLM file to PST secluded. Best thing about it is that it is supportive of all the versions of Windows and Outlook. Besides this OLM to PST converter tool doesn't require any technical background as such...
Try using this: - http://www.olmtopst.org/macolmto-windowsoutlook.html
I hope it will facilitate the task for you…

How do I convert ost to pst in my new laptop

I have ost file from my old laptop, but I can't open it. Try many software - nothing. I was advised download convert programs. How do I convert ost to pst in my new laptop?

There are several methods to convert OST file to PST file.
First, Microsoft does not provide an official tool to do the conversion. However, if you can access the contents of the OST file in your Outlook, then you can perform the conversion manually, as follows:
1. Start Outlook. Make sure you can access all the contents in the OST file to be converted.
2. Create a new PST file.
3. Go to the OST file, select and copy all the contents to be converted with your mouse.
4. Go back to the new PST file, then paste all the contents into the PST file
That will do the conversion.
You can also perform the conversion by export the contents of the OST file to a PST file by following the instructions at:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-001/outlook-help/export-outlook-items-to-an-outlook-data-file-pst-HA102534110.aspx
Second, if you can access the Exchange server containing the account data for the OST file, then you can use Export-Mailbox command to export the data into a PST file, similar to convert your OST file into a PST file. Below is the article about doing that:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb266964.aspx
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc535123.aspx
Third, if you cannot access the OST file via Outlook, neither can you access the Exchange Server, then you can refer to Outlook MVPs' website discussing about this issue:
http://www.slipstick.com/problems/pst-repair/convert-an-exchange-offline-file-ost-to-a-personal-file-pst/
Forth, there are many third-party OST to PST conversion tools you can try, below is a list of them:
http://www.datanumen.com/exchange-recovery/compare.htm
Nearly all these tools provide a free trial so you can try first to see if a tool works before purchase it.
Good luck!

Office Outlook 2013 no search results

Installation:
Server 2008 R2 Terminal server
Office Outlook 2013
This is a new server install and happening the same for all 15 users on the server, Admin s and users.
I am unable to display any results when searching mail box. I modified and rebuild the index many times. I have un-selected and re selected files and
added pst files. I am able to start outlook in safe mode and search with no problem. Users are able to search programs and files in windows start menu.

Hi,
Did you installed any add-ins with your Outlook? Please go to File > Options > Add-ins and disable all add-ins you have installed to check the result.
If the problem would be gone when you disable all add-ins, we can try to enable the add-ins one by one until we find the problematic add-ins.

Microsoft Office Outlook Error Message

Can't open Microsoft Office Outlook. the following error message appears everytime i try to open the email:
errors have been detected in the file: C:\users\TPRJ001\AppData\local\microsoft\outlook\outlook1.ost
quit outlook and all mail-enabled applications, and then use the repair tool (scanpst.exe) to diagnose and repair errors in the file

Hi,
Based on the research, this issue can be caused by several factors, such as the corrupt PST
file, incompatible Outlook add-ins, and corrupt Outlook Profile. At this point, I recommend that we follow the steps below to troubleshoot this issue.
Step 1: Repair the PST
file
=====================
The "Microsoft Office Outlook Inbox Repair Tool" utility is available to repair the PST
file. I suggest you perform the following steps to run this utility and repair the PST
file first.
1.
Click Start, click Run, enter "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OfficeXX\SCANPST.EXE" and press Enter.
NOTE: If Inbox Repair Tool window does not appear, please click Start, click Search and search for "SCANPST.EXE"
file.
2.
In the Inbox Repair Tool, please enter/paste the path below:
C:\Documents and Settings\user\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook\Outlook.pst
3.
Click Start to begin scanning your
file.
When you are finished with the Inbox Repair Tool, restart Outlook to check the results.
If the issue persists, let's start the Outlook in Safe Mode to test the issue.
In this mode, the add-ins won't be loaded with the Outlook program and it will become more stable.
Step 2: Start Outlook in Safe Mode
===============================
1. Close Outlook first. Click Start, and click on Run.
2. In the Open field, type: "Outlook /safe" (without the quotation marks).
   Notes: There is a space character between Outlook and the forward slash (/).
3. Press Enter.
However, if the error message still occurs when exiting Outlook, I recommend that we create a new Outlook profile to troubleshoot the issue.
Note: A new Profile is a new environment for us to use Outlook. To create a new Profile is only for a test to see if the problem is related to the corrupt Profile of Outlook. Creating new Profile will not do any damage to the old Profile.
Step 3: Test in a new Outlook Profile
============================
1. On the Start menu, click Control Panel.
2. Click Switch to Classic View, and then click the Mail icon.
3. In the Mail Setup dialog box, click the Show Profiles button.
4. On the General tab, click to select the Prompt for a profile to be used check box.
5. Click Add.
6. In the Profile Name box, type a descriptive name for the new profile, and then click OK.
7. In the E-mail Accounts dialog box, click Add a new e-mail account, and then click Next.
8. Select the appropriate server type for your new e-mail account, and then click Next.
9. Fill in the appropriate information as prompted to configure the account again, and then click Next.
10. Click OK.
11. Restart Outlook and select the new profile in the popup window.
12. Please check if the issue occurs in the new/empty Outlook profile.
For more information, please refer to the following Knowledge Base article:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;829918
If the issue still occurs, please let us know.
Thanks

Microsoft Office outlook is synchronising folders

My email programme is Outlook. I keep getting a message on my PC (5-10mins) that "Microsoft Office outlook is synchronising folders" is this because I have the blackberry desktop manager installed. The message repeats all the time I am logged on to my PC. (not only when I synchronise my BB)
This slows down my applications drastically!

Hello Peter,
You may find the following links helpful:

Anyway, the current forum is for developers. I'd suggest asking non-programming questions on the
Outlook IT Pro Discussions forum instead.
