What is MBOX format

MBOX is an email database format used by many email clients for Windows, Unix, Linux and Apple Macintosh. One mailbox folder is typically stored in a single file, making it easy to back up and transfer emails.

The MBOX format is not compatible with Microsoft Outlook, which uses its own PST format for message databases. To access MBOX messages in Outlook, you must use the MBOX to PST converter or import MBOX to Outlook.

How to import MBOX to Outlook manually

The manual import of MBOX to Outlook involves the following steps:

  1. Connect the email address of a client that uses the MBOX data file to an Outlook profile. 
  2. Save the messages from the added account to a folder in the Outlook mailbox. 

The manual process is complex, time-consuming, and prone to errors. It requires technical knowledge and experience working with different email systems. It also does not offer any additional options and may not transfer the data properly.
