How to Convert OLM Files to OFT Format
OFT files, also known as Outlook Template files, are specifically designed for creating standardized email formats with pre-defined content, styles, and layout. By converting OLM files to OFT format, users can transform their existing email messages or designs into templates that can be quickly applied to new emails, saving time and ensuring consistency in communication.
Aspose.Email for Java is a powerful API that provides comprehensive functionality for working with email messages, contacts, calendars, and tasks in Java applications. To convert OLM files to OFT format, the library offers the OlmStorage class used to open and access the content of an OLM (Outlook for Mac) file. The FolderInfo class represents a folder within the OLM file and makes it possible to manipulate its content. The MapiMessage class provides developers with a comprehensive set of functionalities to work with email messages programmatically, enabling them to efficiently manage, manipulate, and interact with email data within their Java applications. And finally, the SaveOptions class provides options for saving email messages in different formats. In the code sample below, these classes enable developers to open an OLM file, retrieve the Inbox folder, iterate through the messages in the folder, and save each message in OFT format.

What is OLM File Format?
The OLM (Outlook for Mac) file format is used by Microsoft Outlook for Mac to store email messages, contacts, calendars, tasks, and other data. It is a proprietary file format specific to Outlook for Mac, allowing users to archive and back up their email data for offline access and migration purposes.
What is OFT File Format?
OFT is a file format used by Microsoft Outlook to save email templates. An OFT file contains the layout and content of an email message, including text, images, and formatting, but it does not include recipient information or specific details such as the subject line or message body. OFT files are used to create reusable email templates that can be easily customized and reused for sending similar messages multiple times. Users can save time and effort by using OFT files to quickly create and send emails with consistent formatting and content.
