Getting mail, rules, accounts etc from Windows Outlook 2007 to Mac

[SMXBob]

It's time for me to "upgrade" my Windows 7 and Office 2007 for various reasons. I've been running Windows via Virtualbox so just need to transfer data to the right apps on the Mac side. I bought Office 2019 for Mac thinking that should be seamless but turns out to be a mistake.

I was able to get the email from Windows Outlook 2007 to Mac Outlook 2019 but not the rules nor accounts. Anyone know of a way to get the rules and accounts transferred?

If not, what is the easiest/cheapest way to get it all into Apple Mail?

Thanks
Steve

Finally heard back from Microsoft support, 6 hour chat response... They say that rules for IMAP accounts are not transferred only exchange server side rules. That doesn't make any sense since they are right there in the local PST file. I guess they just didn't want to deal with it. I had a lot of rules in there. Upgrades cost us a lot for the amount of work, too.
