I have been using Apple Mail as my primary email client for work on macOS for many years. So, it’s only obvious that I have plenty of emails stored on my Mac machine. 

Recently, I decided to move from Mac to a Windows machine. For this, I also need to migrate data from my Apple Mail to Microsoft Outlook email client on Windows. I exported all email messages from Apple Mail to an MBOX file. But, I didn’t know about any method that supports moving bulk emails (with multiple attachments) from Apple Mail MBOX file to Windows Outlook data file (PST). 

I searched for manual workarounds and posted many queries on several tech forums online to find a solution to move Apple Mail data to Windows Outlook. I found many responses as solutions to perform the conversion manually but nothing worked for me. This is when I started searching for a MBOX converter tool and came across Stellar Converter for MBOX software. The software helped me convert the entire Apple Mail data to PST format in just a few clicks and without any data loss. 

What I tried before using the Stellar Converter for MBOX Software?

As suggested on forums, I configured a Gmail account in Apple Mail, and moved all the email messages to a Gmail folder. Next, I configured the same Gmail account in Outlook on my Windows PC and it started fetching all the Apple Mail messages, added to the ‘Gmail’ folder. It took me several hours to perform the conversion, but I was disappointed to find several crucial attachments missing. Unfortunately, it didn’t prove a feasible solution for me. 

I had already invested a lot of time in performing the conversion and didn’t want to waste any more time in the process. So, I decided to use a professional Apple Mail MBOX to PST Converter to ensure that all my Apple Mail data will get converted to Outlook PST file. After reading several positive reviews, I decided to give Stellar Converter for MBOX software a try. I am glad I did. The software matched up to my expectations and helped me perform the conversion with precision. 

How I performed Apple Mail MBOX file conversion to PST by using the software?

I downloaded and installed the Stellar Converter for MBOX software on my Windows machine. When I launched the software, it took me to the main screen with the Select MBOX dialog box. In the dialog box, I selected ‘Apple Mail’ from the ‘Email Client’ list.

After verifying the accuracy of converted mailbox data, I clicked the ‘Save Converted File’ option on ‘Home’ menu. A ‘Save As’ dialog box appeared with several file saving options. I selected the New PST file option to save the converted email messages as a new PST file, and clicked ‘Next’.
