What to do If you Cannot Import MBOX format into Outlook?

Import MBOX format into Outlook (Mac & Windows) is not possible. Here is what you need to do.

MBOX Format

One of the most common formats to store data is MBOX. Even Google lets you download your data to MBOX format. This file can be used with dozens of different clients and software.

Except Outlook. Outlook is emailing software or client from Microsoft, available for Mac and Windows. And it does not support MBOX format.

But there is no need to panic just yet.

4. Step 4: Browse to the location your MBOX file is stored at and select it.
5. Step 5: The tool displays all the folders inside your selected file. You can manually remove any folder you do not want to convert by simply unchecking the box next to it. Also, use the ‘Ignore Empty folders’ option if you want to not convert any empty folder to PST.
