Tagged as: .

Do you have data in Mbox, Thunderbird or Exchange for conversion, then don't hold back. I want to tell you some awesome solutions to load and migrate items from your desired mailbox to Outlook and others.

But first let's know what is the file format and how can you do the conversion?

MBOX data file

MBOX file is a very common mail format supported by many web mail and portable email clients such as Netscape, Entourage, Thunderbird, Apple Mail, Gmail, Webmail etc.

User can export MBOX file to Outlook manually and using third-party tools. But the manual method goes a long way and also comes with a lot of constraints which is not ideal for secure data conversion.

In contrast, third-party solutions perform a few simple steps to migrate the data while preserving its structure.

Thunderbird Mailbox

Mozilla Thunderbird is an open source email client that stores mailboxes in mbox and maildir file formats. We have become familiar with mbox file but don't know about maildir so let me tell you that it creates a file for each email with attachment. So some users also use Maildir to save messages.

Maildir file cannot manually convert to Outlook therefore we have professional application tools.

I recommend this solution because it supports both MBOX and Maildir files. User can use the software on all Windows OS and export Thunderbird emails to PST format. The application has preview windows to display the emails before the conversion of Thunderbird emails.

You can also test the demo edition of this program and move few emails from each folder.

Exchange Database

Microsoft Exchange server is hosted in various organizations to maintain their mailbox in one place. It manages all data items in EDB file format that user cannot open into Outlook when it is unmounted or corrupted.

You can also not use manual way to recover the exchange mailbox into PST in this situation. Hence third-party tool is the way to export EDB file into Outlook.
