Frequently Asked Questions

Can Outlook open an MBOX file?

No. This email client provides no standard ways to open MBOX files. If you need to convert MBOX to PST or simply want to open an MBOX file in MS Outlook, you should use either manual operations or our MBOX to Outlook Transfer software. If you need to open MBOX file without email client, download MBOX Viewer. This free and simple tool allows to open and view emails packed into Mbox files.

Can I import MBOX to Outlook?

Yes. Use our tool for that – it is fast, automatic and 100% reliable thanks to thorough testing with every version of Outlook and every MBOX-like email format. The program can reliably work even with gigantic MBOX files and demonstrates astonishing conversion performance due to the multi-threaded parsing engine inside.

How do I import MBOX into Outlook from Gmail?

The basic step-by-step is as follows. First, you should export your messages and attachments from Gmail to MBOX. Then, you simply select the folder with MBOX files downloaded from Gmail, and run MBOX to Outlook Transfer. The software automatically converts your Gmail MBOX to Outlook. For a more detailed guide, please refer to this tutorial.

How do I convert MBOX to PST for free?

There are several options that cost zero dollars. First of all, almost every mail client allows you to load your MBOX mailbox to the IMAP server. This way, you transfer MBOX files to some IMAP server, and then connect this IMAP server to Outlook to retrieve your messages. This method is free, but unfortunately is not 100% efficient. In our experience, users often face issues while converting MBOX to Outlook this way – lost messages, damaged encodings, wrong message formatting etc.

Another free option is manual conversion, message by message and folder by folder. This could easily take weeks, and can easily drive you mad in the process, but it is free.

Finally, a not-so-free yet still very affordable alternative is to use the MBOX to Outlook Transfer tool that automatically and safely exports your MBOX (or a load of them) to PST. This method is the simplest and fastest among all, but you may need to purchase a license. But your time and mind sanity are worth more than that.

How do I convert MBOX to PST on Mac?

The conversion will require two steps:

    1. Finding MBOX files on your Mac machine, and physically transferring them to the Windows PC where you will run conversion to the PST format.

Downloaded, installed, executed. What else? Ah. It is working like a charm! Surprisingly this app is detecting the type of mbox file and do not ask me to select the format and source like competitors. Thank you, it converted my emails to pst file in several minutes. No any hassles.

Škoda, že neexistuje překlad rozhraní do češtiny, takže jen 4 hvězdičky. Funkčnost je však ohromující. Jen malá pomůcka, ale milion možností. Soubory MBOX uložené v aplikaci Mac Mail a dalších formátech jsem dokázal převést bez problémů.

Wirth the money

I just converted all my old mailbox files into several PST files using your Transfer software. Well done, guys! Simple and intuitive interface, nothing to get lost in, very fast conversion from mbox to pst. I also extracted all messages from mbox to eml files just in case I need to import them to Horde or another online email system.
