How to Import Apple Mail email files in Outlook 2016 for Win

Need to Import apple mail email files in Outlook 2016 for windows pc. I am completely unaware of this process and doing it for the first time. So not to make any mistakes as my emails contain some important stuff I need a solution that can safely import my apple mail files in outlook 2016 for windows pc. Thanks

There are two scenarios:

Each scenario can be used separately. The first one can be performed faster then second.

[1] You can save emails as multiple .EMLX files, then use the Outlook Import Wizard to import .emlx files into Outlook. To do that, you just need to save MAC MAIL e-mails as .emlx files, run the Outlook Import Wizard, turn on the special option “Enable the EML preprocessing (Unix, MAC)“and import .emlx files into Outlook.
[2] You can export e-mails from MAC MAIL to the special mailbox file of .mbox format, then use the free MBOX Emails Extractorto export messages from .mbox file to to files of .eml format. After that you will be able to use the Outlook Import Wizard to move extracted e-mails to the MS Outlook.

To save Mac Mail emails as .mbox file you can do the following:

Select e-mail messages you wish to save in the file of .mbox format
(you can use Command+A to export the whole folder)
Go to the File menu and select Save As… menu item
Enter the filename for your .mbox file
(default filename is the subject of the first message, but this doesn’t mean that you should save each message individually)
Select the target place, where you want to save the .mbox file
Select Format: Raw Message Source then Save

The result will be saved as a file of .mbox format, containing the MIME attachments.

Sigh in Outlook with the same email id as you use in apple mail, your emails will appear in outlook 2016 windows as well.

You can also use an application to perform such migrations. Such as:http://applemailtopst.com/how-to-convert-apple-mail-database-to-pst-directly-on-mac/
