OLM file store emails messages and other data saved by the application from an exchange server. Mac OLM file can export into PST, EML or MSG with the help of tools.

We no longer support or recommend Outlook 2011.
Outlook 2011 is long obsolete. It has numerous bugs and problems, including security problems.
If you like the Outlook program, you can get a modern, reliable version from Microsoft for just a few dollars a month. If you’re looking for a free mail program, Mozilla Thunderbird is much more reliable than old versions of Outlook.Since we no longer offer support for Outlook 2011, the information below is provided only for historical reasons, and should not be used to setup new computers or addresses.

Why don’t you recommend SSL?
Outlook 2011 has a bug handling SSL connections: It tries to use the long-obsolete “SSLv2” protocol that is no longer supported on modern mail servers, including ours. If your network also uses a very common kind of firewall that prevents “client-initiated session renegotiation”, SSL connections will simply fail.
The best solution to this is to upgrade to a modern version of Outlook. If you can’t do that, turning off SSL in Outlook 2011 (as described above) will allow it to continue to work.
In theory, turning off SSL encryption in the Outlook settings weakens security, making it possible for attackers who have access to your network to intercept your password. In practice, SSLv2 has not been secure for many years, and offers little protection against attackers anyway. You should update to the current version of Outlook if you’re concerned about security.
Having trouble sending mail?
We occasionally hear reports of an Outlook bug that makes it impossible to send mail (even though you can receive mail), with Outlook showing with an “unknown error code 17199”. If this happens to you, Microsoft suggests deleting all messages in the Outbox to solve it.
Do some people see duplicate images in messages you send?
Outlook for Mac has a bug that can cause duplicated images, unfortunately. It’s not caused by a problem on your computer, or our servers.
Lost your contacts and mail?
Outlook stores your contacts (and any local mail) in a folder at a certain location on your computer: Lightshot for mac download.
Documents > Microsoft User Data > Office 2011 Identities
If you accidentally rename the “Microsoft User Data” or “Office 2011 Identities” folder, or move them to the trash or another location on your computer, Outlook will create a brand new “identity” with no mail or contacts. (This is easy to do accidentally because the “Microsoft User Data” folder is just “loose” at the top of your “Documents” folder.)
If that's what happened, and you still have the original folder, you can move that folder back to the original location (or rename it to the original name) and the contacts and mail will reappear.
