Hello everyone,
If you’re managing an Exchange Server and need to migrate multiple MBOX files to Outlook PST format, you’re in the right place! This topic is one we encounter frequently, so we’re sharing some straightforward solutions that might help.
Outlook doesn’t support MBOX files natively, which is why converting to PST is necessary. There are both manual methods and more efficient automated tools available to accomplish this.
Manual Conversion Options
- Using Thunderbird as a Middleman:
- You can import MBOX files into Thunderbird with the “ImportExportTools NG” add-on.
- Set up an IMAP account (like Gmail) in Thunderbird, then transfer your emails from the MBOX folders to this IMAP account.
- Sync the IMAP account with Outlook, and your emails will be accessible in Outlook’s PST format.
- Note: This method is free but can be time-consuming, especially if you’re handling large volumes of data.
