Import MBOX to Outlook

Import MBOX to Outlook imports emails from MBOX files into a specified Outlook folder. It is intended for moving MBOX mailbox data into Microsoft Outlook, and it can retain the original folder structure during import.

The utility supports MBOX files created by different email clients, including mboxo, mboxrd, mboxcl, and mboxcl2. It can process multiple MBOX files at once without limitations, handle large data files of any size, and create separate folders for individual MBOX files. It also preserves email metadata, formatting, attachments, Internet headers, and Google labels. Additional options include selective import of MBOX files or individual messages, moving successfully imported source files to another folder to avoid duplication, and marking newly added messages as unread. The page also describes a manual import process and says it is complex, time-consuming, and prone to errors, while the utility is presented as an automatic alternative.

Import MBOX to Outlook can be run as a stand-alone application or opened from Outlook. The Professional Edition includes command-line support, which is described as useful for scripts, automation, multiple users, and scheduled import. The software supports modern Outlook versions starting from Outlook 2007.

A free limited version is available for download, and an advanced version is also offered. The site identifies it as an Outlook add-in under Outlook Freeware.
