I recently bought a Mac Mini and having used a windows PC for quite a long time I had almost 30,000 emails that I needed to import into Mac Mail.

This wasn’t as straight forward as I had hoped it would be and searched around for information on how to do this and had a lot of trouble finding something that worked.

I eventually stumbled across a site Littlemachines.com that sells a low cost program that will convert Outlook PST files into mbox files that can then be easily imported into Mac Mail as well as other mail programs running on Mac OS X.

My Outlook.pst file was just over 500mb in size and running the program it took about 30 minutes to convert all of the data. Then I just selected to import data in the Mac Mail program and after about 1 hour I had all my email loaded into the Mac Mail program.

So if you are looking for a way to convert Outlook files to Mac OS X compatible file then give it a go. It is the best $10 I have spent in a long while.
