To manually import MBOX files into Outlook, you’ll need to use an email client like Thunderbird since Outlook doesn’t support MBOX files directly. Here’s how:
Import the MBOX file into Thunderbird using the “ImportExportTools” add-on.
Set up an IMAP account in Thunderbird that syncs with Outlook.
Drag the emails from the imported folder to the IMAP folder to synchronize them with Outlook.
However, this manual method is time-consuming, complicated, and requires technical skills. It can lead to data loss, incomplete migration, and issues with large MBOX files. Managing multiple email clients adds extra effort, especially for non-technical users.
An easier alternative is the Advik MBOX Converter Tool, which allows direct conversion of MBOX files to PST format, compatible with Outlook. It ensures:
Data integrity and complete migration.
Bulk conversion with folder structure and attachments intact.
A user-friendly interface that requires no technical expertise.
Using the Advik MBOX Converter, you can import MBOX files into Outlook quickly, safely, and without hassle.
