What is an OLM file?

An OLM file is a database file used by Microsoft Outlook for Mac to store exported user data. It may contain various Outlook information, such as email messages, contacts, calendar events, tasks, and notes, in a proprietary format.

More Information

Microsoft Outlook for Mac users typically create OLM files by exporting their Outlook data. Users can use these files to back up their information or transfer Outlook data to another compatible Outlook for Mac installation.

However, the OLM format is not directly compatible with Outlook for Windows, which uses different data formats, including .PST files for Outlook data archives. To view OLM data in Outlook for Windows, users generally must first convert the OLM file to a compatible format, such as PST, using a third-party conversion tool.

How to open an OLM file

You can open OLM files with Microsoft Outlook for Mac, which is the primary application for handling these files. To do this, go to ToolsImport.

Additionally, you can use third-party applications like Stellar Phoenix OLM Repair or inventPure Software Mail Backup X to manage OLM files.

How to convert an OLM file

Several applications, including Aryson OLM Converter and Regain OLM to PST Converter, can convert an OLM file to other file types, including the following formats:

  • .PST - Outlook Personal Information Store
  • .MBOX - Email Mailbox
  • .EML - E-Mail Message
  • .EMLX - Apple Mail Message
  • .MSG - Outlook Message Item File
  • .HTML - Hypertext Markup Language File
