What is an MBOX file, and which one do I upload?
MBOX is one of the oldest and most widely used formats for storing email. A single .mbox file holds many messages one after another, each with its headers, body and attachments. Gmail, Thunderbird, Apple Mail, Yahoo, mutt, Evolution and many other tools can export or already store mail this way.
- Gmail (Google Takeout): upload
All mail Including Spam and Trash.mboxfrom theTakeout/Mailfolder, or the Takeout.zipor.tgzitself. - Thunderbird: upload the extension-less files in your profile’s
MailorImapMailfolders (for exampleInbox,Sent). Drop the whole folder and we skip the.msfindex files for you. - Apple Mail: upload the
.mboxfolders created by Export Mailbox…. Each one contains a file namedmbox; we name the result after the folder. - Other apps: any file in standard mbox format works, whatever its extension.
- Outlook:
.pstfiles from Outlook for Windows and.olmarchives from Outlook for Mac can be converted too, for example OLM to PST or PST to MBOX.
You can add several mailboxes to one conversion; they all end up in a single PST file. Zip and tar archives (including .tgz) can be uploaded without extracting them. Want something other than a PST? See all conversions.
