OLM files of the Mac system are helpless, i.e. they can lead to many corruption threats which include unexpected system shutdown, virus and spyware attack, storage media corruption and lots more. This Outlook for Mac does not offer natural option to recover mailbox information from corrupt OLM files. The corruption of OLM files which may be due to hardware failure or some other reasons, hamper the emailing services on exchange server based networks. Therefore to avoid OLM file corruption, many organizations move their email information to some other exchange server supported client like MS Outlook.

If Mac and Windows system are connected with MS Exchange server, then there is possibility to convert Outlook for Mac accounts to PST file. Exchange server generally stores the mailbox information of email clients that are in several EDB files. Mentioned below are the conditions that must be satisfied for exporting Outlook data for Mac system to Windows environment.

• Exchange server which contains Outlook for Mac data and Exchange server which stores Ms Outlook mailbox should be the same part of Ms Exchange network.
• You are the Exchange server administrator having all the administrative rights to access the information of different sub-domains within MS Exchange network.
• You should be using MS Exchange server 2000 or 2003 in your organization.
