How to Import PST to iCloud Using Apple Mail and iCloud Settings
#1
If you're planning to import your Outlook PST files to iCloud using Apple Mail and iCloud settings, there are two reliable ways to get the job done — a professional method using the DRS Softech PST File Converter Tool and a manual workaround via Apple Mail and iCloud. Let's explore both.

Method 1: Using DRS Softech PST File Converter Tool (Easiest & Quickest Way)
If you want to save time, avoid technical hassles, and ensure your data (emails, attachments, folders) is imported accurately, the DRS Softech PST File Converter Tool is the best solution. This tool is specially designed to convert PST files into formats compatible with Apple Mail (like MBOX or EML), which can be easily imported and synced with iCloud.
Steps to Import PST to iCloud Using the Tool:
  1. Download & Install the DRS Softech PST File Converter Tool on your Mac or Windows system.
  2. Launch the software and add your PST file(s) using the 'Add Files' button.
  3. Choose the Output Format as MBOX or EML, both of which are supported by Apple Mail.
  4. Select the destination path where the converted files will be saved.
  5. Apply email filters if you wish to export specific emails only.
  6. Click on Convert to begin the process.
  7. Once done, import the MBOX/EML files into Apple Mail.
  8. Finally, enable iCloud sync in Apple Mail preferences, and your emails will automatically sync with your iCloud Mail.
Why Use DRS Softech PST Converter?
  • Preserves original folder hierarchy.
  • Supports batch PST conversion.
  • No need for Outlook installation.
  • Compatible with all macOS & Windows versions.

Method 2: Manual Method via Apple Mail & iCloud Settings
If you prefer the manual method, you can do it using Outlook for Mac, Apple Mail, and iCloud settings, though it’s more time-consuming and slightly technical.
Manual Steps to Import PST to iCloud:
  1. Open Outlook on Mac (You’ll need to first move PST to Mac if created on Windows).
  2. In Outlook, import the PST file using
    Code:
    File > Import
    .
  3. Once the data is visible in Outlook, open Apple Mail.
  4. Go to
    Code:
    File > Import Mailboxes
    , and choose Outlook for Mac archive file.
  5. Browse and select the location where Outlook stored the imported PST emails.
  6. The emails will be imported into Apple Mail under a separate folder.
  7. Now go to
    Code:
    System Preferences > Apple ID > iCloud
    , and ensure Mail is checked.
  8. Move the imported emails into the iCloud mailbox folder within Apple Mail.
  9. Apple Mail will now sync those emails to your iCloud Mail account.
Conclusion:
While the manual method works, it’s tedious and prone to data loss or formatting issues. If you want a faster, safer, and more user-friendly solution, the DRS PST File Converter Tool is your best bet. It simplifies the entire process and gives you full control over your email migration.
