Hi, What type of email account are you using? If you are using an Exchange account, your emails, calendars, addresses are by default stored on the Exchange server. When you set up the Exchange account in Outlook on a Mac, your emails, calendar items, addresses will be sync to Outlook for Mac. If you are using other account type, I'm afraid that Outlook cannot directly import from Apple Mail.
Export Emails From Outlook Mac
The easiest approach is to use an IMAP or Exchange account configured in both apps, and move all the messages through there. Hope this helps.

Hi, As we know that Apple mail saves emails in MBOX format and MS Outlook does not support MBOX file so, it is required to format. For that, you can try quick solution i.e; SysTools MAC MBOX converter which easily converts Apple Mail Data into Outlook PST format as well as 3 more formats. After that you can import converted PST file in MS Outlook 2016 for MAC.
In Outlook there will be 2 option to import file. One is for PST and another is the OLM file. So, you have to select 'PST'.
After completion of import process, you can see your Apple mails in Microsoft Outlook 2016 MAC. Thanks & Regards Kelvin Howard. Yes you can easily Migrate your Apple mail database to Outlook PST format here you need to install both software while you are performing this conversion from manual channel, while migrating your MBOX file to PST you need to remember several thing like in manual process here is a chance of data corruption, data loose or time consuming. If you, not in mood to take risk with your mail backup file so you can try commercial channel to perform this conversion, you can find lots of example of commercial tool on internet i have found one of them usefull you can try this too.

Microsoft Outlook 2011 for Mac was supposed to be the most compatible release for Mac – but not necessarily the most open.

When viewing an.eml file in Apple Mail, you can perform Message – Move To –. Folder and it will do so. It would also be technically possible to create a folder in Apple Mail, and then drop.emlx files into the Finder location of that folder to manually import existing.emlx files into Apple Mail.

This means your Outlook database is corrupt and needs to be repaired by opening Outlook while holding down the “option” key on the keyboard. If the same results are experienced after a database repair, then your database is permanently damaged. You could try comparing the Apple Mail import to Outlook, and easily find one of your missing Apple Mail messages. Outlook may experience a crash when opening one of the missing Apple Mail messages – this would confirm the database is corrupted. If you can view the missing message, it only means better news, and “at least its somewhere”.
Careful though – each database repair creates a whole new copy – taking up lots of space – make sure to visit your “/Documents/Microsoft User Data/Outlook 2011 Identities” folder to delete discarded old Outlook databases. #10 by Rob worked after several tries.

Rob Many thanks for this solution, which has been driving me mad for ages!! In Mac OSX 10.8.3 it works more or less fine for several thousand emails that I transferred from Outlook:mac 2011 to Apple Mail. All attachments were preserved as was the hierarchical structure. In one small folder all mail was in machine code. 160 ‘sent’ emails from 2009/2010 would not transferred. I am now using Apple Mail and have said goodbye to Outlook – now uninstalled.
