To import an MBOX file into Outlook 2011 for Mac: Copy the.mbox file to your Mac. A USB flash drive or an external hard drive is probably the easiest way to do that. On your Mac, in Outlook 2011, select 'Outlook 2011 -> File -> Import' menu command. Select 'Contacts or messages from a Text file' option. Click on 'Continue' (Right arrow button). Microsoft Outlook 2011 for Mac (and previous versions) likes to put all the data in The “Microsoft User Data” folder can be moved to another location and work perfectly fine. Warning: You should shutdown Outlook 2011 and all other Microsoft Office applications prior to making a change like this.
Without going into a long explanation as to why, we have always kept the PST files for outlook in a different location. We just updated from Office 2013 to Office 365/2016 for Mac and PC. In past versions of Outlook, you were able to select the pst data file location in the account setup function and change it freely. With the new 365 version (at least the MAC 2016 version of it) can't find anyplace that allows you to set/change the location of the pst data files. I can find the current location, but need to understand how to change the pointer to another location. Can someone clue me in on how to do this? Thanks in advance, Todd.
