MBOX email clients are well-known but have certain limitations, and sometimes, it becomes necessary to switch to some other email platform. The Outlook is also a well-known email client and has better credibility than any other email platform among users.<\/p>\n

Outlook assures better security and features than any other email client, and hence people like to convert MBOX files to PST format. There are many other reasons too for why people go for MBOX conversion, and that is easy-to-use interface, flexibility in work management, support to multiple items, etc.<\/p>\n

How to Import MBOX files to Outlook PST?<\/h4>\n

Here, I have a Thunderbird MBOX file which I want to convert to Outlook 2010 format. So, with Thunderbird email client, I will go for EML conversion first. Here\u2019s how you can do it:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Start with opening Thunderbird<\/strong> and locate the emails you want to open with Outlook<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
  2. Select the desired emails <\/strong>for conversion and right-click on it.<\/li>\n
  3. Go to the Save as<\/strong> option and choose the EML <\/strong>option.
    \n\"Choose<\/li>\n
  4. Choose the saving folder location.
    \n\"Choose<\/li>\n
  5. Once you are done with saving all of the emails, start Outlook.<\/li>\n
  6. Now, import the EML files in Outlook 2010 by choosing Outlook as the default app to open EML files.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
