You switched from Mac to Windows, tried to load your OLM file into Outlook, and got this error: <\/span>“The file [path].olm is not an Outlook data file (.pst).”<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first time most people run into this, they assume the file is corrupted. It isn’t. Mac Outlook stores data in OLM format; Windows Outlook uses PST. Same data, different containers \u2014 and Microsoft has never built a native converter between them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are two ways around it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
