Also, you may often need to convert OST to EMLX for this purpose. Where Outlook creates an OST file to store data, Apple Mail supports EMLX to import it. However, these formats are not compatible with the platforms directly. But here is a guide that may help you. Although there is no proper manual method to perform the conversion, you can use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.macsonik.com\/ost-pst-converter\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>MacSonik OST to PST Converter<\/strong><\/a>.

Both OST and EMLX have different algorithms to store data.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also, it is because Apple Mail cannot read Outlook OST files natively.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even though a manual method exists, it would be a lengthy process involving different email clients in the process.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Often, this creates a mess and disrupts the formatting of the OST file.
