Import OS X Mail to Outlook for Mac and Windows – How to do it without using EMLX & MBOX files.
Import OS X Mail to Outlook (Mac/Win)
Let us first get a common misconception away: there is no direct and official way to import OS X Mail to Outlook, neither windows nor Mac version. You need to rely on third-party tools or do it manually.
Luckily for you, there are few decent third-party tools you can use.
Also note that while there is a possibility to migrate the data manually, it is not suggested by us if you want to do it properly. More precisely, if you have crucial details in your database that you want to convert without losing the integrity, manual methods should be the last choice for you. They are not often lengthy and tiring, they end up with inconsistencies and integrity errors, which is something no one wants.
MBOX/EMLX Converter
So, we come back to third-party tools. Most of them you would find are either MBOX converters or EMLX converters to PST (Outlook file). MBOX is a common file to store emails and you can archive your OS X Mail data into it. While, EMLX is a raw/source data file and native to Mac Mail. They are stored in your ‘Mail’ profile database folder.
But the question is, is converting MBOX or EMLX to PST the best way to import OS X Mail to Outlook? One is an archive file and the other is a raw source file.
The clear answer is no. Both of these methods can be tiring, although not as difficult as manual methods, but they have their limitations and drawbacks. And yet, most of the tools for importing OS X Mail into Outlook work the same way.

Sit tight, because here we will be offering you something else, something far better, efficient, safer, and easier approach to this migration task.
