Convert MBOX to Outlook (Mac/Win)
Moving anything from one place to another is often a very intimidating and tiring job. You might relate to that on both levels of real and online world. When you shift your place of living, the ardous job of moving all your stuff can be more than merely annoying; it can take up days, and no matter how careful you are, in the end you always find some of your precious things either broken or lost along the way, with never to be seen again.
Migration of emails is not that different from when you move your place in real world. Here, we are talking about MBOX to Outlook, both amazing emailing software with friendly features and interface, but always lacking proper ways for data migration.
If you have MBOX files and have decided to move to Windows and use Outlook as your email client, the prospect of transferring all the years worth of emails can seem daunting, and it actually is.
The Challenges
Even the experienced users who may have some skills relating to such migration find it to be tiring and time consuming. But unlike IT department in a big company who may have custom-built tools and unlimited resources at their disposal, a basic user can only rely on themselves or an economical software app to guide them along.
Now, there are many ways to convert MBOX to Outlook. Not all of them work out in the end the way you want and is needed. Some of them can even be devastating to the structure of your data and the important details stored in them. Just like moving in real life, many methods of converting MBOX to Outlook can also end up with missing and broken things. Sometimes it is the attachments that were gone missing during the transition, at other times, it is the complete emails and folders.
The change in structure is also common and can be equally problematic. The damage to folder hierarchy or the change in read/unread status of emails can prove to be infuriating for the users who rely entirely on emails for their communication. A single modification in metadata can be a significant loss. Many email migration forums are filled with such stories of data loss. One user once reported that he could not find a crucial graphical element inside his emails that were actually the projection charts of the company he worked out. Turned out, the tool he used for converting MBOX to Outlook skipped all the images and graphics within the emails. Sadly, the user didn’t have access to the original MBOX emails anymore.
Therefore, it is important to not get invovled in such risky and inefficient ways and avoid them right at the start.
The Solution
Luckily, we are not ending this post here with a simple warning. There is a surprisingly better solution that will help you avoid such loss and also save you time. What is even more is that this solution is not targeted for experts, yet it works brilliantly even in larger and more complicated migration projects. It’s a tool that has an intuitive way of working, appealing to home users lacking in any technical skills of email migration. In spite of all the powerful functionality it comes packed with, the tool still remains simple to use by anyone.
Called Mail Extractor Pro, it can be downloaded for free as a trial. Link at the bottom of this post. You can download it without giving any information or signing up for anything.
The Features
If want to see how it works, get it right now and check it out everything in your style. Or else, read the list of features below:
- It brings direct auto-load feature for the primary Mail database of Apple Mail, Thunderbird & Postbox, which helps you avoid any manual task for loading the data you want to migrate. The tool will target the main Profile database for conversion to PST.
- But if you need to migrate not the main database but some other backups, you can do that too by simply selecting the location for that backup.
- It can convert MBOX to Outlook – PST (you need to archive as MBOX file), but it is more of a traditional approach. If you only have MBOX files, then you obviously have to choose this option. But if you have the MBOX database, then recommended option is ‘auto-load.’
- This next feature is a bit out of scope of this post but is still worth mentioning. Mail Extractor Pro can also convert:
- Apple Mail Database to PST
- Apple Mail Export Mailbox to PST
- Apple Mail ‘Mail’ folder copied to PST
- Apple Mail MBOX file to PST
- Thunderbird Mail Database to PST
- Thunderbird ‘Profile’ folder to PST
- Postbox Mail Database to PST
- Postbox ‘Profile; folder to PST
- Any *.mbox files to PST
- Sometimes, the ordinary converters produce big PST files, making it tricky to import them to Outlook. With this one, however, you can choose how big the PST file you want and the tool will split the files if they get larger.
- The precisely calibrated algorithms ensure zero data loss and modification/integrity loss. Whatever is there in your MBOX database will be safely converted into PST format, while also preserving the arrangement of folders, text formatting inside emails, graphical dimensions, and so on.
- There is a specialized internal function for handling Unicode content safely, both from the emails’ text and from the email headers. This includes all the languages that come under Unicode standard (almost all world’s writing systems) and special characters in-use today in all parts of the world.
