Hello,
I can ´t import the olm-file (from Outlook 2016 for mac) in Outlook 365 for mac.
The Outlook error report says that it needs at least 69.6 GB. But On my ssd are 178 GB available.

I already deinstalled the old outlook. It was requêtes to install office 365.

How can i solve the problem?

    Hi @CBS1970 ,

    To confirm if your issue is related to your Outlook for Mac client, it is suggested for you to try importing some other smaller size of olm datafiles to your Outlook to check if the import feature could work fine. Also, you could try to copy the same olm datafile to other Outlook for Mac client and see if the issue could be reproduced there.

    I tried some search about your issue but have not found any information tells this is a version-related issue. In this old similar thread, @Loyolaarokia provided a workaround that help him solve his issue, please check if this could help make a difference to you: Disk Space error when importing Note: Please make sure you have backed up all you data before any operations.

    Any update, please feel free to post back.
