Yes, you can import OLM to Apple Mail without using Outlook by following a manual approach. Since Apple Mail does not support the OLM file format directly, you’ll first need to convert the OLM file to MBOX—Apple Mail's native format.
Manual Method:
- First, access a system where Outlook for Mac is configured and import the OLM file there.
- Then, drag and drop all emails from Outlook folders to the desktop to create .eml files.
- Open Apple Mail, go to File > Import Mailboxes > Files in MBOX format, and import the .eml files (after converting them into MBOX using third-party tools).
- This method is time-consuming and requires Outlook and multiple conversions.
