Extension of mail file setup by POP and IMAP irrespective of OS and Mail Clients

Question

Hi,

In case of Windows 10, I found extension of mail file setup by POP is PST and setup by IMAP is OST.

Would you like to let us know, what will be mail file extensions in other OS like MacBook and Linux (e.g. Ubuntu)?

Hi @NndnG ,

Welcome to our forum!

As I know, in Outlook for Mac the .olm file is the datafile to archive data.

If you need to import and export outlook for MAC data, please refer to:
Export items to an archive file in Outlook for Mac
Import email messages, contacts, and other items into Outlook for Mac

And please kindly understand that the Outlook tag here we mainly focus on general issues about Outlook for Windows and Outlook for Mac, and know little about Linux. If you have some questions about the Linux environment, please post in the relevant forums. Thanks for your understand and support!
