Switching from Windows Outlook to Mac Outlook
4. Click the Next button.
The Save Exported File As dialog displays.
5. Give your file a name (be sure to use .pst as the file extension) and
then click the Browse button to choose a file location. Note its location
and then click the Finish button.
Outlook asks whether you want to give your file a password.
6. Leave the Password fields blank and then click OK.
If you click the Cancel button, Outlook not only cancels adding a
password, it cancels making your (.pst) file, and you’ll have to
start over in frustration (as we did).
Outlook prepares the data file, which you should copy or move to your Mac
using a method of your choice. (DVD, USB drive, SkyDrive, and SharePoint
are but four of many possible transfer methods.)
Importing an Outlook for Windows data file
To import your saved .pst file in Outlook for Mac, follow these steps:
1. In Outlook 2011 for Mac, choose File➪Import from the menu bar.
The Begin Import dialog displays.
2. Select Outlook Data File (.pst) and then click the right-arrow button
at the lower-right corner of the dialog.
The Choose a File Type dialog displays.
3. Select Outlook for Windows Data File (.pst) and then click the
right arrow.
The Import file browser displays.
4. Navigate to the Outlook data file and click the Import button.
Outlook imports your Identity. If it seems like nothing is happening
and the progress bar got all the way to the end, just keep waiting.
Eventually you see the Done button.
5. Click Done.
Your Identity has been successfully imported.
6. In Outlook 2011 for Mac, choose Tools➪Accounts from the menu bar.
Enter account information to restore your accounts, as shown later in
this chapter, in the “Managing Accounts in an Identity” section.
