Thunderbird MBOX to PST Converter

Have you tried any Thunderbird MBOX to PST converter yet?

If you have, you might think of the process as daunting and time-consuming, and even threatening to your data integrity. Your most important goal and what you expect, a common tool would miss by a mile.

But here we are to change that notion. The challenge of Thunderbird MBOX to PST conversion is overblown. With a well-designed software, it can be a gentle, quick process without facing all the awful problems through poorly implemented software.

‘Mail Extractor Pro‘ is a Mac compatible program (for 10.6 OS X or higher) that features all the essentials for a pro-level migration experience and results. The tool is not an improvement from the previously-set standard but an overhaul of the entire mechanism of data conversion.

The MBOX to PST conversion feature of the tool gives you the ability to load multiple files if you need to. The outcome is always comprehensive without the omissions of small details like headers or metadata.

Before moving forward, there is one very important feature that it has that might change things even more significantly:

Directly Convert Thunderbird Mail Data to PST for Outlook

Instead of converting the Thunderbird MBOX files to PST, which requires you to first archive data to MBOX, now you can convert straight from the profile database of Thunderbird client. It is where everything is stored by the client by default. You can ignore all the intermediary and manual steps to find or archive the files like MBOX or any other. Simply choose ‘Autoload‘ and let the tool look for the primary database and start converting from the source.

But, if you need to convert MBOX to PST, you are free to do so. This feature is also offered for users with MBOX files from sources other than Thunderbird, like Google takeout (download) file for your messages on Gmail.

Other than Thunderbird and MBOX, you can also use it for converting Apple Mail primary database and Postbox data to Outlook PST as well.

PST format is also compatible with Mac Outlook for importing purposes.

The Key Features

The interface is minimalistic and gives you an intuitive sense on how it works.
Built upon the foundation of multilayered algorithms, you can let go of the worries regarding any missed components
Contains special system to trace and map the folders with correct order/arrangement.
The tool does not convert the emails with read status into unread or vice-versa. This may sound insignificant, but many tools fail to keep the unread status of the mails.
The PST split feature does not let the output file become too large in size. Set the size-limit you think is appropriate and the tool will automatically keep that in check. The larger files will be split into smaller files.
The unicode text in headers are frequently the cause of frustration. Email addresses in the header parts of emails (To, From, Cc, Bcc) that are in non-English are converted poorly, if at all. ‘Mail Extractor Pro’ doesn’t follow the same process of Unicode conversion and instead gives you cleaner results with its dedicated Unicode algorithms.
The time taken to convert everything is yet again another major contributing factor in why many professionals hate email migration. With this one, you will be surprised by how fast it works even when converting massive sized databases.
The tech support of USL Software adds another layer of security, convenience, and professionalism many other tools miss. The support is 24 x 7 and available via chat or email.
The regular updates keep the tool functioning at its best even when Thunderbird and Outlook goes through changes and updates themselves. ‘Mail Extractor Pro’ never loses its edge and power with the ever changing world of technology.
