How to Convert OLM Files to PST Format
Converting OLM files to PST format is crucial for users transitioning from Mac to Windows systems. Emails, contacts, and calendar events in PST files can be easily accessed on Windows. Additionally, converting to PST enhances compatibility with Microsoft products, facilitates collaboration with Windows users, and provides a secure backup solution for important data.
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 PST format, the library offers the PersonalStorage class to create a new output PST file with a specified file path and format version. It is used to store and manage email data in a PST file format. The OlmStorage class is used to open and access the content of an OLM (Outlook for Mac) file. With the OlmFolder class and its methods, you can access messages within an OLM file folder. The FolderInfo class represents a folder within a PST file and makes it possible to manipulate its content. The library’s StandardIpmFolder enumeration of predefined folder types in a PST file is used to specify the type of folder being created in the PST file. 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. In the code sample below, these classes work together to iterate over and retrieve email messages from a folder in the OLM file, returning MapiMessage objects that can be added to the target folder in the PST file.
