What are Mbox files & how to access them?

The mbox format is a generic term for a family of related file formats used for holding collections of electronic mail messages. All messages in an mbox mailbox are concatenated and stored as plain text in a single file. Because all emails live in one continuous file, mbox is a widely supported archival format used by many mail clients and servers.

Mbox files can be exported from a variety of email clients, including Mozilla Thunderbird, Apple Mail, Eudora, and many Unix-based mail applications. If you have been asked to provide or review an email archive, it is often shared as a .mbox file. With this free mbox viewer you can inspect every message inside the archive directly in your browser, without any software installation.

How to open Mbox files?

To open an mbox file, you can use an email client like Mozilla Thunderbird or Apple Mail. These email clients can import mbox archives and let you browse each message individually. Alternatively, you can use this free online mbox viewer to read the emails inside any .mbox file instantly — just drag and drop the file or click Select File above.
