    Often yes, but work carefully. First, copy the OLM file to your computer and never work on the original. If the file is on an external drive, check the drive too by trying another USB port or cable and running Disk Utility’s First Aid. Then try importing the copy into Outlook for Mac. If that fails, the file is likely damaged. You can also rename the copy to .zip and open it, since some emails may still be readable. If none of that works, use a repair tool. Kernel OLM to PST Converter, for example, can restore corrupt OLM files, though its trial saves only 25 items per folder and runs on Windows, so check a sample first.
