The time has come for me to move on, and rightly they are asking to get all the old emails back, at least in archive form. I can see them all in the Archive section of Outlook 2011. Without really knowing what I was doing, I managed to clear the inbox my archiving all the old emails onto the local disk of my personal Mac.

When I started a new job last year, they had a full exchange server that they needed to empty so that they could continue to use it.

I have a problem to do with exporting from Outlook 2011 back to Windows Outlook. Thanks for your efforts to resolve these migration problems – you provide sound advice. I’m hopeful that these procedures will get better and give us more options in either the service pack or later versions, it’s not bad as such, just not very feature rich around pst archive handling. If you have a quota’d mailbox, you may well have sizing issues doing this.
The only way I could think of doing that would be to push the ‘On My Computer’ mail back into Exchange (say into a separate folder) and then connect to Exchange with Windows Outlook and export to.
At present I don’t know of any way to migrate from. When it comes to getting your mail back out of Outlook 2011, you will need to export it.

Outlook 2011 for mac makes this impossible, you will need to export your mail, which has a few gotcha’s also. Personally I feel this is a backward step, with the linked pst, it was a simple matter to disconnect the pst and walk away with it. These are all Outlook storing not only your cached mailbox from exchange, but the various parts of your pst distributed amongst them. Also in that folder, you will see folders for Message Attachments, Images etc. If you look in this folder using Finder, you will see a Database file, typically around 200Mb (completely dependant on the size of the pst import of course) described as Microsoft Outlook database. Under ‘ …DocumentsMicrosoft User DataOffice 2011 IdentitiesMain IdentityData records’ Once imported, the information isn’t held in just 1 linked file like it would be for Outlook 2010, it’s effectively imported into the local database on your mac. At present the only way I can think of to overcome this (should you WANT to do it) is to import only the calendar entries via Windows outlook onto the server directly from the original pst file. All imported entries are displayed in a separate calendar. Although the import procedure will import your calendar entries, it seems Outlook 2011 won’t let you drag and drop entries back into your live exchange server based calendar, which is probably more likely for most users rather than mail items.The mail does NOT go via Exchange, if you monitor your server based mailbox it shouldn’t show any difference before and after (assuming no new mails have been sent to you).Put the pst you’re importing from on the local disk of the mac, I’ve had issues with doing it from a networked drive.This sounds obvious, and it is, but you would be amazed by how many times it goes wrong just because of impatience. Depending on the size of the pst, you need to give it time to do the process.There are a few things to note though while you’re doing this. To import a pst is pretty simple, there is a built in wizard to do so, I won’t spell it out, as Microsoft has done it for us here: (I also untick the ‘Group similar…’ as for me it looks cleaner, but that’s down to personal preference.) You can display this if you go to the Outlook menu, Preferences->General and untick the ‘Hide On My Computer folder’ box. What Outlook 2011 does offer is an import option for pst files to display them in the ‘On My Computer’ section. In short, it doesn’t handle them, it doesn’t open pst and it doesn’t export to pst. There is 1 niggling aspect of Outlook 2011 I don’t love.
However for the most part all those extra features aren’t used, sure there are some people who do try and use them all, but in day to day busy corporate environments you pretty much need to send/read and file mail, contacts and appointments. No, it’s not as fully featured as Outlook 2010 for Windows, it always seems to be that the mac versions are watered down somehow. I’ve been using Outlook 2011 for a few months now, and I have to say I like it.
