When it is all about storing contacts, e-mails and calendar entries, there rises a problem when it comes to their migration. Converting the backup files of one format to another is always an issue which is what we are going to focus in this review.
As we know, the backup files of Outlook for Mac (OLM) are saved with .OLM extension which cannot be opened in the Microsoft Outlook program. To serve this purpose, Stellar Data Recovery introduces a tool that takes care of migrating OLM backup files into PST files.
What’s the need of conversion?
Necessity 1:
Outlook for Mac may be a remarkable tool but not that efficient that of Windows’s. It won’t support ActiveX controls, ODF files and Arabic family language styles (right-to-left). It also cannot handle the RTF file attachments which are sent by other mail clients.
For example, if Windows mail client sends a ‘winmail.dat’ attachment, Mac’s outlook cannot handle or recognize it.
Necessity 2:
When you are migrating to a new environment or wanted to, migrating the OLM backups is a big task as all the contacts and schedules are in a total different format. Sitting down in front of two computers with different environments (Mac & Windows) and copy-typing every contact is not a wise decision even.
In such situations, Stellar OLM to PST converter will come to your rescue and saves your day.
