To convert OLM to MBOX format for free, you can use a manual process with Apple Mail. First, ensure that your OLM file is imported into Outlook for Mac. After that, follow these steps: Open Outlook, select the emails or folders you want to convert and drag them into Apple Mail. Once the emails are in Apple Mail, you can export them as MBOX files by choosing the "Export Mailbox" option in the Mail application.
However, this free method can be slow, especially when dealing with large mailboxes, and requires careful attention to avoid losing data. Additionally, it may not maintain the folder structure perfectly.
For a more efficient solution, a third-party tool such as OLM Converter can offer a faster process and a free demo version that can convert a few OLM files at no cost. These tools allow direct conversion from OLM to MBOX, helping preserve data integrity and folder structure better than the manual approach.
