Let’s assume you’re using Apple Mail at work. Next month, your company will be shifting to Microsoft Outlook. So, you want to transfer your Apple Mail mailbox data to MS Outlook.
However, it’s to be noted that email clients don’t always use the same file format to save mailbox data. Apple Mail and various other email applications, including Thunderbird, Entourage, Spicebird, Netscape, IncrediMail, Claws Mail, PocoMail, Opera Mail, Mozilla Mail, Eudora, Evolution, Sylpheed, Mulberry, and SeaMonkey, save mailbox data in MBOX file format.
On the other hand, MS Outlook saves emails and other mailbox items in PST file format. MS Outlook cannot open or view MBOX files because it does not recognize the format. You must convert MBOX files to PST format in order to transfer your emails and other mailbox data to Outlook.
Though there is a manual approach for importing MBOX files into MS Outlook, it is complex, time-consuming, and may not bring the desired results. Alternatively, you can use a third-party professional converter application, such as Stellar Converter for MBOX to easily convert MBOX files to PST.
