Previously, a software named Unix was needed to view the Mbox file. In a Mbox file, all messages are saved one after another with a header “From” in a single file.

The Mbox file is the acronym of the mailbox, which is basically the storage of email messages.

If you don’t know how to open MBOX in Thunderbird and how to import it in Outlook, don’t worry, you are going to know. I have had to open the Mbox file in Thunderbird.Īfter opening, I imported the required emails to Microsoft Outlook from Thunderbird to add it to my new email account. Then, I decided to import only the important one rather than transferring the whole file. I was way much surprised seeing the size of the Mbox file as it was almost 3.1GB. So, to get my essential messages in my new account, I was head to transfer the Mbox file into my new account. Recently, I have downloaded all my email messages from my Gmail account by Google Takeout because I decided to switch the email account.
