Create a Folder on your desktop and call it outlook mail. Ensure that you have all your emails in folders and the correct folders you wish to have shown inside Mac Mail.
Drag each folder including each subfolder one by one to the folder on your desktop.
When you have the folder positioned to the left of outlook mail, as shown you can merely drag the email folder to the desktop folder.
It converts each folder to .mbox, which you will then be able to import to mac mail.
The folder that I dragged across to the desktop folder was Electricity. As soon as it is located into the folder, it changes to .mbox. There is no limitation how many outlook folders you drag to the Outlook Mail folder. I recommend that if you have many subfolders that you do them in batches that way you can import them in batches and organise folders inside mac mail.

Once it has imported the folders, you will receive a confirmation message and where to locate the mail folder.
All folders that are imported are shown here. You are now able to create your folder hierarchy inside mail. All message that are imported will show as unread. A quick way of making them read is to go into the folder and select ‘cmd a’ on your keyboard to select all messages and then ‘shift - cmd u’ to mark them as read. You will have to do this for folder, but it’s worth it.
