Find the Right way to Migrate all your MBOX files to Outlook on the Mac platform. A Mac MBOX conversion guide, and much more.
Every email client user has heard at least once about MBOX Files. Without it, more than half of the current desktop clients will crumble. After all, it is the most popular email database file in use today. Originated from Linux, MBOX file is now used by email applications of multiple Operating systems like Windows & Mac.

Sometimes, users have a need to convert the MBOX files into PST so that they can access the MBOX emails in Outlook. But unfortunately, there are no direct methods to do this. Third-Party software is a good way to import MBOX file to Outlook, but Mac users often feel left out as 90% of developed tools are for Windows OS.

Any Manual Method to Convert MBOX Files to Outlook on Mac?

There is a manual method available that you will find all across the web. It goes like this:
  1. Import the MBOX files (of any type) in Apple Mail
  2. Then, export the data from Apple Mail as .mbox file
  3. Rename it to .mbx and create the mailbox in Eudora
  4. Import the MBOX data from Eudora to Outlook Express
  5. Then import the data again. This time from Outlook Express to MS Outlook
The process is very lengthy and time-consuming. However, if you still want to know the steps in details, you can read it here: https://www.freeviewer.org/blog/manually-convert-mbox-to-pst/

Important: This process is an outdated one. You will require the old versions of Eudora i.e., 7.0 and below. Other than this, the complete process takes a fair amount of time and effort to complete. You will need to be technically sound to be able to resolve any error that may come during the data migration. And worst of all, a single mistake could lead to loss of complete MBOX data.
