Method 1: Using Email Clients
Export from Outlook for Mac:
Open Outlook for Mac and go to the File menu.
Select Export and choose the appropriate options to export your emails. This may create a .olm file.
Import into Other Clients:
Import the .olm file into a compatible email client that can handle this format (such as Thunderbird).
In Thunderbird, go to Tools > Import and select the relevant option to import files.
Export as EML:
Once emails are in Thunderbird, you can select the emails you want to export.
Right-click on the selected emails and choose Save As to export them as individual EML files.
Method 2: Use Third-Party Software
There are several third-party tools available that can facilitate the conversion from OLM to EML directly. Some popular ones include:
OLM to EML Converter Software: Look for software specifically designed to convert OLM files to EML format. Examples include:
Stellar Converter for OLM
OLM to EML Converter from other reputable vendors
When using these tools, follow the on-screen instructions to select the OLM file you want to convert and specify the output format and location.
Method 3: Manual Conversion (for Smaller Email Sets)
Drag and Drop: If you only have a few emails to convert:
Open Outlook for Mac.
Create a new folder in your file system (on your desktop, for example).
Drag individual emails from Outlook into the folder. This should create .eml files for the dragged emails.
Method 4: Using Command Line Tools (Advanced Users)
For those comfortable with command-line tools, you can consider using scripts or tools that can handle OLM files and convert them to EML, though this method is less common and may require programming knowledge.
Important Considerations:
Backup Your Data: Always make a backup of your OLM files before performing conversions, especially when using third-party software.
Choose the Right Software: Ensure that any third-party tool you choose has good reviews and meets your needs.
Test the Output: After conversion, check a few EML files to ensure that the conversion was successful (including that all relevant data such as attachments is preserved).
Try one or more of these methods based on your comfort level and the tools available to you!
