MBOX is the name of a whole family of formats used for storing collections of email messages with attachments. The mailbox format, in this or that form, is currently used by dozens of email exchange applications, and it is this diversity of format variants that causes problems during email migration and conversion. The Mbox format has never been standardized and its implementation has always been up to the developer of a particular application. In addition, Mbox is used by applications on both Mac and PC platforms, which adds the encoding factor to the data conversion dilemma that some users inevitably face when they realize that they need to switch to Microsoft Outlook.

Supported MBOX files of the following (but not only) email clients and applications:

Alpine, Atmail, Becky! Internet Mail, Claws Mail, Cone, Ubuntu Evolution, Gnus, KMail, Mozilla Mail, Mulberry, Mutt, Netscape Messenger, Opera Mail, Pegasus Mail, Pine, PocoMail, SeaMonkey Mail, Zimbra, Google Mail (old Google Takeout format, use Gmail Transfer for new format).

What is MBOX format

The MBOX is a common format in which many mail programs store messages. Those are, for example, Mozilla Thunderbird, Mac/Apple Mail and many others. An MBOX file contains all messages of a mailbox or a separate folder. To open MBOX messages in Microsoft Outlook or Exchange Server, you must import them into Outlook or convert them to Outlook data files.

The MBOX format is also used for transferring message databases, like in Google Takeout.

What is PST format

PST is an internal Microsoft Outlook database format. It stores messages, as well as other Outlook items, together with their properties and directory structure.

Why convert MBOX to PST

There are important reasons for MBOX2PST conversion:

• PST is an internal Outlook format. To store and open mail from a different email system in Outlook, you have to export your messages to this format.
• MBOX stores the entire email folder in one file, presenting the contents as a chain of emails. Messages in a resulting PST will look as if you received them directly from the mail server. All HTML formatting, attachments, and headers will be saved as the original.
• Microsoft Outlook provides wide possibilities to organize data including message databases. This MBOX2PST converter allows you to automatically arrange resulting data files in folders in many ways.
• MBOX to PST conversion is used when migrating an old email database from another mail client to Outlook and Exchange Server mailboxes and public folders. When you convert such MBOX files, the utility recognizes email labels. For example, it can create the Gmail folder structure in a PST file and use Gmail labels to assign Outlook categories to messages.

Seamlessly migrate your messages from an MBOX client to Outlook without the fear of compromising the structure of the source files
