How to Import Outlook PST File into Windows 10 Mail Manually?

[adviksoft]

To manually import PST to Windows 10 Mail, first, create a free Outlook.com email account and configure it in desktop Outlook using IMAP. Use the Import/Export option in Outlook to import specific PST files and export PST emails in MSG format. Then, create a new folder under the configured Outlook.com account and name it PST File Data.

Drag and drop the MSG files into the newly created folder.
Restart desktop Outlook for data syncing, log in to Outlook.com to view imported emails in the PST File Data folder and add your Outlook.com account to the Mail App for synchronization.

However, this manual method involves using multiple applications, including Outlook.com and Desktop Outlook, making it suitable only for technical users familiar with Account Creation, IMAP, Import/Export Wizard, Account Configuration, Drag and Drop Method, and Synchronization. It is a lengthy and time-consuming process, prone to errors and potential data loss.

Alternatively, Advik PST Converter Wizard provides a pro software solution for a direct and efficient import of PST to Windows 10 Mail, with a free trial version available for testing before purchase.
