Import Mbox to Outlook 2016 Like a Professional
Mbox file is a generic file format that is used by many email clients. It is mostly in use by Mac Mail users. If you are going to switch to Windows Outlook 2016, you are going to face a problem.
Though Mbox file is a very common file format, it is not yet supported by Outlook 2016. Microsoft Office Outlook 2016 uses its own proprietary file format Pst. Therefore, its impossible to import Mbox files to Windows Outlook (or even Mac Outlook) client directly. You need to convert the format to Pst.
If you don’t want to do that, the other option is to manually move through the clients using intermediary as a server of an email account supporting IMAP. You create a new email account like Gmail, and sync the data to that account from Mac Mail and then sync it back from server to Windows or Mac Outlook.
It has two drawbacks – first, if the data is in Mbox files and not in any client like Mac Mail, you first need to import that file for the data to be synced to the servers. So that’s like additional step which is clearly unnecessary as you will see below. Secondly, the migration this way can be inaccurate. Users have reported many glitches and loss of information from unknown reasons.
So the best option is to convert Mbox file to Pst.
Note* – Converting it to Pst file also gives you an additional benefit, which is, you can use that file even with Mac Outlook 2016. Windows Outlook may not yet import Olm or any primarily Mac OS data format, but Mac Outlook provides relief if it is the other way around. You can simply import Pst file even in Mac Outlook.
