FAQ

MBOX → PDF questions

Are remote images loaded?

No, never. Images that a message links to on the web are not fetched, so no tracking pixel fires. Images embedded in the message itself are shown.

Can I upload my Google Takeout archive directly?

Yes. Upload the .zip or .tgz from Takeout as it is, or the .mbox inside it.

Where do attachments go?

Each message's attachments are saved as their original files next to its PDF in the zip.

Is this suitable for legal or eDiscovery work?

It's a practical way to hand over readable copies of messages and their attachments. If your process requires a specific production format, check with your reviewer or platform first.

How much does it cost?

One price per conversion, based on the total size you upload, the same tiers for every format. You see the exact price before you pay, and there is no subscription.

What happens to my files?

Uploads are deleted as soon as your result is ready (unfinished uploads within 3 days), and the result is deleted after 7 days. Conversion is automated and nobody at MoveMyInbox reads your mail.
