Hi,
Based on the description, you seem to have an olm file? Please note Outlook for Windows can only import emails from pst files, olm files can't be imported into Outlook for Windows directly.
A workaround is to setup an IMAP account in Outlook for Mac - it's better to be an empty new account, we can sign up one from many email providers. Then move all emails you need to migrate into that IMAP account. Outlook will start to sync, all the emails will be uploaded to the email server.
The next step is to create that IMAP account in Outlook for Windows. After the emails are synced, we should find all these emails you need in the local .pst(Outlook 2010) or .ost (Outlook 2013) file.
I hope this makes sense for you, if you have any questions about the steps, feel free to let me know.

Hello williams4128,
Please try to transfer one email only (as a test). Any error message?
Hello again williams4128,
On a PC you can run a Powershell script:

If you are new to Powershell:

Thanks George for taking time and helping but powershell seems too much complicated and m unable to understand it properly.
The solution by Max doesn't work properly and also many users online have complained about Kernel and it seems like a big no.
Hello Williams,
You need to ask yourself "What do I want to accomplish"?
Then do it ! No complains!
Hello George,
Thanks again for suggestion. I know what I want to accomplish and I am not complaining regarding your method. I just told that the powershell method seems out of my capacity to execute and I cannot afford calling some specialist to perform the operation on my system. I also went through the paid solution suggested by Max as I am open to paid solution for getting me out of this trouble. However, I have every right to spend my hard earned money after researching well. I simply informed what I found during my online study. Still, if you have tried the Max's solution and recommend me to go with it, I will definitely give it a go.
As I am a bit cautious when it comes to spending money so I tried contacting the support of software solutions first. The Kernel support didn't respond to any of my emails till date whereas I got quick reply from Gladwev support for Outlook Mac Database Recovery explaining each and every detail of process. I first tried its trial version and it was quite easy to use and within a few steps it converted my outlook mac database to a pst file. After the successful trial I got the full version and was bale to move my emails from outlook mac to windows without any kind of hiccups.
Microsoft should definitely look into the matter as the outlook mac supports pst file but outlook windows does not support olm file making it one way movement from windows to mac.

For the migration of Outlook for MAC to Windows you can use OLM to PST Conversion Tool. Visit http://community.spiceworks.com/topic/605402-convert-olm-to-pst for the application.
