A browser-side escape hatch for Outlook’s .olm archives
OLMExport offers a browser-based way to read an Outlook for Mac archive or convert it into formats including MBOX, EML, PDF, searchable HTML, CSV, contacts, and calendar files.
- For
- Outlook for Mac archive owners
- Worth noticing
- The page reports testing a 1.7 GB archive of 50,000 messages and advises converting folder by folder for very large files in Safari or Firefox.
Field notes
The workflow reads the archive entry by entry in the browser and hands the locally assembled output to the browser’s download mechanism; the page says no server handles conversion. It offers a viewer as well as exports, with large-file guidance that distinguishes Chrome and Edge disk writing from Safari and Firefox memory use. The site reports testing a 1.7 GB archive containing 50,000 messages; that result is self-reported.
