If you want to shift from Microsoft Windows to Apple Macintosh Operating System then this post is important for you.

I learnt the same when I was working in a company and they asked me to switch from one place to another.

Then I searched a lot on Google about shifting Outlook mails from Windows to Macintosh and I got the solution.

  1. First, we need to copy PST file into pen drive or any other storage device and move it into Macintosh computer.
