What is an OLM file?
The term OLM stands for Outlook for Mac File. As the term suggests, the OLM file is used by Mac outlook email client for a variety of data like contacts, calendars, messages, tasks, emails etc. This format was introduced by Microsoft when they launched Outlook for mac in 2011. However, you should remember that mac outlook stores its data in a database file and not an individual OLM file. It allows the database to be exported in an OLM file. It is said that an OLM file can hold up to 2 GB of data.

What is a PST file?
The term PST stands for Personal Storage Table. It is a data file used by Microsoft Outlook to store your Outlook data for POP3, IMAP and email account data. You can store email folders and everything within such folders. PST files store emails, email attachments, tasks, contacts, calendars and more.
