The files are in '/Documents/Microsoft User Data/Office 2011 Identities/Main Identity'. Under that directory, e-mail is stored in 'Data Records/Messages'. Note that Outlook for Mac does not use PST and OST files. Each item is stored as a separate file, which makes indexing with Spotlight for searching much simpler. Older Mac Mail versions store emails in.emlx files and don’t allow to pack them into mailbox format. So you have nothing to do with email archiving option. You have to find the proper mailbox location and use the “ Mailboxes ” folder for the further conversion.
