How do I open an OST file on a Mac??

Opening an Outlook OST File on Mac can be challenging, as Outlook OST files that are specific to MS Outlook on windows. They store a copy of your mailbox data locally on your computer, letting you access your contacts, calendars, task, notes, journals, inbox items, outbox items and other mailbox items without an internet connection. However, Outlook for Mac Uses a different file format, making it incompatible with Outlook OST Files. This raises the question: how do you open an OST file on a Mac?

Why Can't You Open OST Files Directly on a Mac?

MS Outlook on Mac uses OLM Files instead of Outlook OST Files, that creates a barrier when attempting to access your Offline data. The OST format is used mainly for syncing data from Office 365, Exchange Server, or IMAP accounts, while Mac Outlook works in its own environment. Since the two platforms handles files differently, there is not a direct way to open Outlook OST Files on a Mac.
