Perfect App

Worked like a charm, almost 400 subfolders for 50k mails converted from PST to Apple Mail, and best of all, with keeping email status read/unread! Great Work guys!!

Impresive so far !!

From an old outlook 2003 that couldnt be imported from Microsoft itself ! So many things were imported, its hard to know if absolutelly everythings is perfect and intact so far but it seems to be. Congratualations to the developpers. Also, there is a trial version that lets you see if it works or not before buying it. Very well tought and designed !

Perfect

Converted all of my old MS Outlook email going back 12 years including attachments. Imported into Mac Mail and it looks great. Thank you.

Works great

I had to convert over three years of email from Outlook to Apple Mail in a very short period of time. I was very happy to find this solution. Not only did it move everything successfully and completely, there was no clean up work afterwards. For example, I didn’t have to rename any folder and every attachment came through correctly. I was happy to find a solution on the App Store so I didn’t have to worry about whether the software was going to do damage to my system. Five stars.

Worked perfectly

wow… worked as advertised… had to move approx 2000 Outlook items to Mac Mail & contacts and this perfortmed flawlessly. Saved me many hours and the formatting was intact when everything was imported. A little pricey (IMHO) but it did the job so...

do not waste time to look for alternative methods

I skipped 2 times to immagrate from PC to MAC because of my +20GB outlook email transfers. i tried many alternative methods but almost faced with some problem. some of them didnt transfer all the emails, some of them didnt able to convert multi language emails such as chinese, turkish etc. but PST convertor pro did its job simply and end my all fears about immigration from PC to MAC. congrulation. definite buy !

thanks

thanks

Simply perfect

This app simply saved my (working) life. Easy, well explained, no missing of document/attachment/font at all. Many thanks.

Crashes after adding PST to list

It should have better error checking. Even if I gave it a bad PST (and I didnt,) it shouldnt crash without any sort of error.

A Godsend for Windows to Mac Converts

I was recently migrating tons of emails and contacts over from Microsoft Office on Windows to my new Mac machine, and this literally took what would have been a 3 hour job and turned it into a 3 minute job. Seriously consider this if youre doing a conversion like I was. Price is a bit steep though, for just a conversion app. Might consider slimming that down a bit.

Perfection!

Worked flawlessly. I am now 100% Mac! Thanks.

Garbage - falsely states the PST file is corrupt.

This DB is working PERFECTLY FINE within outlook - yet, re-using the PST file within this filter reports its corrupted, which requires the purchase and search for another utility. This product is a waste of time and money.

100% Success

It has bugged me for years that I have to go to Windows to open old Outlook messages. Exporting old messages in Outlook is unsatisfactory, so Ive been looking for something to convert PST files to be read by Apple Mail. This app converted tens of thousands of messages, contained within a series of PST archives dating as far back as 1996. All I did was drag and drop all the PST archives into this app at once, choose the output format, and it processed them without a hitch and preserved their archive groupings. I tried all the conversion options (creating three different sets), and of the Apple Mail, MBOX, and EML conversion-output options, I found the latter best for my purposes because it allows individual messages to be opened in Mail without loading the entire MBOX. Of course, sent/received dates in the EML conversion were not available in the finder, as the file creation date is the day of conversion. But when opening the mail message, the header info is intact. But EML format used the subject line as the title of the message, so regardless of not knowing the sent/recieved date in the finder, I was able to ID the message by title. As archives imported into Mail, they all work like a charm. I dont need access to them via Mail, but I imported an archive of personal messages as a test, and the sent/recieved dates are all there, the header information is intact, and the attachments open. They imported into the "On My Mac" section of the Mailbox list, in a folder called "Import." Within that folder, the app created a subfolder with the same title as the PST archive. It also converted my calendar, which I couldnt be happier about, although I didnt import all of them. I did import some individually for hisorical record reasons. I didnt try converting contacts because I had already exported them for use in Address Book before I quit using Windows. The only messages that werent converted with original formatting intact, as far as Ive been able to tell, were some circa-1997 HTML-formatted newsletter emails. The text was all there, but the layout wasnt. This is no big deal, but it may be important to some. I dont know of another app that will do better, though, so I dont fault PST Converter Pro for this necessarily. The price of this app is steep, and kept me away from it for some time (I wonder if a lower price point would result in higher sales for the developer). However, after trying a 99-cent competitor app with sketchy and unreliable results, I finally bit the bullet and purchased this app. The differences were apparent from the start. Complete documentation, a conversion report, 100% conversion success, calender conversion, several conversion options, and a surprisingly "finished" look for a Version 1.2 app made it worth it to me, in retrospect, for solving a problem thats been haunting me ever since I archived my Outlook stuff into those stupid proprieatry PST files before leaving Windows.

Entourage

In the description it talks about converting Entourage - it doesnt, only PSTs. The image in the description of this product is as complex as it gets so if you dont see a menu item youre looking for its not in there… Want a refund!

Does not handle messages using MIME well.

Expensive, yet doesnt handle messages using MIME well (import from PST to Mac Mail). MIME controls are visible in the converted message, as if it were viewed as plain text.

Worth the cost

This app was pricey compared to some others. However, it was able to import 6 different PST files totally over 5 Gig in size. It imported my calendar events and contacts as well. I had to use the Mac Address Book to merge duplicate contacts though. Great app! Buy it and save yourself a lot of hassle.

I spent a week looking for a solution...

This is perfect. I was able to convert my contacts, calendar and email. No issues. Well worth the money.

Doesnt work under Mountain Lion

Unfortunately, were at the mercy of Apple app approval. 1.5which supports Mountain Lion has been submitted for App Store but is not yet available :( Will update rating once I can confirm full functionality.

doesnt work

it just does not do the job blaming the archive file that is not corrupt. I want my money back.

Amazing!

I am not a overly computer literate, nor am I a computer dunce, but it was amazingly easy to convert my old Outlook email folders into Apple mailboxes. First, using Outlook on my old PC, I exported each of my Outlook mail folders separatedly as pst files. I saved the pst files on a flash drive and transfered them to my new Mac. I used PST Converter Pro to turn the pst files into mbox files. I then imported the mbox files into Apple mail. The coversions were very fast, and it only took a little time organizing & arranging my new mailboxes. This also worked for my Outlook Inbox file. I just did it separately as its own pst file. Great app!
