## Read MBOX files on Mac & Windows.
Any size. Instantly.

Back up your Gmail with Google Takeout and read it offline. Open, search and export emails from MBOX and EML archives — from a few KB to 50+ GB — without your computer breaking a sweat.

[Download on the Mac App Store](https://apps.apple.com/app/mbox-viewer-pro/id6759237715) [Microsoft Store](https://apps.microsoft.com/store/detail/9NW3GVFG7DDB)

 Recorded on macOS with a sample mailbox. Mbox Viewer is also available for Windows, where the interface differs slightly.

How to open an MBOX file

## Three steps, on Mac or Windows

No import, no conversion, no account. Your file is opened exactly as it is, and left exactly as it was.

1.  1### Install Mbox Viewer

    Free from the Mac App Store or the Microsoft Store. Mailboxes up to 1 GB open without buying anything.

2.  2### Open the file

    Drag it onto the window or double-click it. A Gmail export from Google Takeout, a Thunderbird mailbox and an Apple Mail .mbox folder all open as they are — no conversion step.

3.  3### Read it, search it, take what you need

    The archive is indexed once and re-opens in under a second. Search it, print it, or export the messages you need as EML, PDF or a new MBOX file.

## Built for one job, done right

-   01

    ### Your Gmail, offline on your computer

    Use Google Takeout to back up your entire Gmail account, then read, search and browse it offline — no internet required, no account login.

-   02

    ### Other tools choke on large files

    Most MBOX readers crash or freeze past a few hundred MB. Many ship a whole browser or JVM just to show a list of emails.

-   03

    ### Native, streaming, instant

    Mbox Viewer streams through files of any size without loading them into memory. Truly native on Mac and Windows. Indexes once, re-opens in under a second.

## Everything you need to live inside your email archive

A focused, native toolset — not a web app in a window.

### Handles any size

Streaming parser with a 1 MB buffer opens files from a few KB to 50+ GB without loading them into RAM.

### Instant re-opens

A binary index with SHA-256 validation makes every re-open take under a second, whatever the file size.

### Powerful search

Full query syntax: from:, to:, subject:, body:, date:, has:attachment, size:>, OR, negation and exact phrases.

### Gmail labels

Reads Gmail labels straight from Takeout. Browse by label in the sidebar with live message counts.

### Full export

Export to EML, CSV, plain text or extract every attachment. Merge multiple MBOX files with dedup.

### Export a selection as MBOX

Pick the messages that matter — by search, by label or by hand — and write them to a new mailbox that holds only those. The original file is never touched.

### Conversation threads

The JWZ threading algorithm groups messages into conversations with reply chains up to four levels deep.

### Privacy first

Everything runs locally. No cloud, no telemetry, no data ever leaves your computer. Strictly read-only.

### Truly native

Native on Mac and Windows — dark mode, drag & drop, system share and print. No Electron, no Java.

### Repair damaged mailboxes

Deep-scan recovery re-detects lost message boundaries and exports a repaired copy — the original file is never modified. (Pro)

### Export to PDF

Export any message to a self-contained, multi-page PDF with the same layout as printing. One message is free; batch export is Pro.

### Export to HTML

Save any message as a self-contained HTML file with images embedded and attachments as downloadable links — it opens anywhere. One message is free; batch is Pro.

### Properties, MIME & Hex views

Three new ways to inspect a message: a Properties panel, the MIME part tree and a raw hex dump — ideal for technical or forensic work.

[See all features](https://mboxviewerpro.com/features/)

## Works with your email client

Mbox Viewer reads the standard mbox format — the same format virtually every email client and service uses for exports and backups. If your app can export mbox, Mbox Viewer can open it. No import, no conversion, no account: just open the file.

Your MBOX came from Google Takeout?

## The archive Google sent you holds much more than mail

Photos, activity, contacts, calendars, bookmarks — and services that came back empty. Takeout Reports, our free app for Mac and Windows, opens the archive and tells you what's inside, without unzipping it.

## Available in 18 languages

Mbox Viewer's interface and user guide are localized into 18 languages, so you can work through your email in the one you know best.

## Opens a 50 GB archive in under 5 minutes

And re-opens it in under a second — every time, thanks to the binary index.

| 50 GB | ~500,000 | < 5 min | < 1 sec | < 600 MB |

## Free, and Pro when you outgrow it

The free version is the whole app, not a demo: no time limit, no watermarks, no nagging. Pro lifts the size limit and adds the heavy-duty jobs — one payment, no subscription.

### Free

Everything you need to read an archive

-   Mailboxes up to 1 GB

**Key facts**

- Distribution: Mac App Store and Microsoft Store. Free up to 1 GB; Pro (unlimited size) is a one-time in-app purchase. No subscription, no account, no web payments.
- Volume licensing: Mbox Viewer Pro for Education is a separate, permanently unlocked edition distributed as an Apple Custom App through Apple School Manager or Apple Business Manager. There is no public App Store listing and no buy button: an organization is added by its Organization ID first. 39.99 USD per seat (Apple converts other territories; 44.99 EUR in the euro area).
- Privacy: 100% local, no cloud, no telemetry, strictly read-only.
- Performance: opens a 50 GB MBOX in under 5 minutes; re-opens in under 1 second via a binary index.
- Languages: the app's interface and user guide are localized into 18 languages (English, Español, Deutsch, Français, Italiano, 日本語, 한국어, Nederlands, Polski, Português (BR), Português (PT), Русский, Svenska, Dansk, Norsk, Türkçe, 简体中文, 繁體中文). The website is in 10 languages.

**Common questions (short answers)**

- What is an MBOX file? A plain-text file that stores many email messages one after another, each starting with a "From " line. It is what Google Takeout gives you when you export Gmail.
- How do you open an MBOX file? Install Mbox Viewer on Mac or Windows and drag the file onto the window, or double-click it. There is no import step and no conversion: the file is read where it sits and left unchanged.
- Why does double-clicking an .mbox file do nothing? Neither macOS nor Windows registers that extension out of the box, so nothing is set to handle it (or Apple Mail tries to import it). Installing Mbox Viewer registers it.
- Do you need to convert an MBOX file? Usually not, if all you want is to read it. Conversion matters only when another program needs a different format; Mbox Viewer exports messages as EML, PDF, TXT, CSV or a new MBOX file.
- Is it safe to open an MBOX file? The file is plain text and cannot run anything by itself. Mbox Viewer is read-only, never writes to the archive, and blocks remote images by default.
- How large can an MBOX file be? No practical ceiling: 50 GB (about 500,000 messages) opens in under 5 minutes, re-opens in under 1 second, and stays below 600 MB of RAM.
- Where does Thunderbird keep its mail? In MBOX files inside the profile folder, one file per folder, with a matching .msf index that Mbox Viewer does not need.
- Is Apple Mail's .mbox an MBOX file? No: it is a folder that contains a file literally called mbox, which is standard MBOX. Mbox Viewer opens the folder directly.
- Can Mbox Viewer open Outlook PST or OLM files? Not directly; those must be converted to MBOX first, and the site has a guide for it.
- Does anything leave the computer? No. There is no cloud, no account, no telemetry, and the app works with the network off.

  "llmsTxtExisting": "# Mbox Viewer\n\n> How to open an MBOX file on Mac or Windows: install Mbox Viewer, drop the file in, read it. Thunderbird, Gmail Takeout and Apple Mail, 50+ GB, offline.\n\nEvery page of this site is also published as Markdown: append `index.md` to any page URL (for example `https://mboxviewerpro.com/features/index.md`). The whole site in this language is at https://mboxviewerpro.com/llms-full.txt.\n\n**Key facts**\n\n- Platform: macOS 14 Sonoma and later (Apple Silicon + Intel) and Windows 10/11 & Windows Server.\n- Distribution: Mac App Store and Microsoft Store. Free up to 1 GB; Pro (unlimited size) is a one-time in-app purchase. No subscription, no account, no web payments.\n- Volume licensing: Mbox Viewer Pro for Education is a separate, permanently unlocked edition distributed as an Apple Custom App through Apple School Manager or Apple Business Manager. There is no public App Store listing and no buy button: an organization is added by its Organization ID first. 39.99 USD per seat (Apple converts other territories; 44.99 EUR in the euro area).\n- Privacy: 100% local, no cloud, no telemetry, strictly read-only.\n- Performance: opens a 50 GB MBOX in under 5 minutes; re-opens in under 1 second via a binary index.\n- Languages: the app's interface and user guide are localized into 18 languages (English, Español, Deutsch, Français, Italiano, 日本語, 한국어, Nederlands, Polski, Português (BR), Português (PT), Русский, Svenska, Dansk, Norsk, Türkçe, 简体中文, 繁體中文). The website is in 10 languages.\n- Based on the open-source terminal tool mboxShell (https://github.com/dcarrero/mboxshell).\n- Author: David Carrero Fernández-Baillo · Color Vivo Internet, S.L. (https://colorvivo.com).\n\n**Common questions (short answers)**\n\n- What is an MBOX file? A plain-text file that stores many email messages one after another, each starting with a \"From \" line. It is what Google Takeout gives you when you export Gmail.\n- How do you open an MBOX file? Install Mbox Viewer on Mac or Windows and drag the file onto the window, or double-click it. There is no import step and no conversion: the file is read where it sits and left unchanged.\n- Why does double-clicking an .mbox file do nothing? Neither macOS nor Windows registers that extension out of the box, so nothing is set to handle it (or Apple Mail tries to import it). Installing Mbox Viewer registers it.\n- Do you need to convert an MBOX file? Usually not, if all you want is to read it. Conversion matters only when another program needs a different format; Mbox Viewer exports messages as EML, PDF, TXT, CSV or a new MBOX file.\n- Is it safe to open an MBOX file? The file is plain text and cannot run anything by itself. Mbox Viewer is read-only, never writes to the archive, and blocks remote images by default.\n- How large can an MBOX file be? No practical ceiling: 50 GB (about 500,000 messages) opens in under 5 minutes, re-opens in under 1 second, and stays below 600 MB of RAM.\n- Where does Thunderbird keep its mail? In MBOX files inside the profile folder, one file per folder, with a matching .msf index that Mbox Viewer does not need.\n- Is Apple Mail's .mbox an MBOX file? No: it is a folder that contains a file literally called mbox, which is standard MBOX. Mbox Viewer opens the folder directly.\n- Can Mbox Viewer open Outlook PST or OLM files? Not directly; those must be converted to MBOX first, and the site has a guide for it.\n- Does anything leave the computer? No. There is no cloud, no account, no telemetry, and the app works with the network off.\n\n## Download\n\n- [Mac App Store](https://apps.apple.com/app/mbox-viewer-pro/id6759237715): Mbox Viewer Pro for macOS 14 and later, Universal Binary.\n- [Microsoft Store](https://apps.microsoft.com/store/detail/9NW3GVFG7DDB): Mbox Viewer Pro for Windows 10/11 and Windows Server.\n\n## Pages\n\n- [Home](https://mboxviewerpro.com/index.md): what the app does, who it is for and how it compares.\n- [Features](https://mboxviewerpro.com/features/index.md): the complete feature list, free and Pro.\n- [Compare](https://mboxviewerpro.com/compare/index.md): Mbox Viewer against Electron/Java readers and generic utilities, plus the Free vs Pro table.\n- [Education](https://mboxviewerpro.com/education/index.md): volume licensing as an Apple Custom App through Apple School Manager or Apple Business Manager.\n- [Changelog](https://mboxviewerpro.com/changelog/index.md): every released version for Mac and Windows, with dates.\n- [Guides](https://mboxviewerpro.com/guides/index.md): step-by-step how-tos.\n- [Blog](https://mboxviewerpro.com/blog/index.md): articles on email archives, formats and migrations.\n- [FAQ](https://mboxviewerpro.com/faq/index.md): the questions asked before buying.\n- [Glossary](https://mboxviewerpro.com/glossary/index.md): the email-archive vocabulary, defined.\n- [mboxShell](https://mboxviewerpro.com/mboxshell/index.md): the open-source terminal tool this app is based on.\n- [Takeout Reports](https://mboxviewerpro.com/takeoutreports/index.md): the other app from the same author, for reading a Google Takeout export.\n- [Support](https://mboxviewerpro.com/support/index.md): how to get help, and the contact form.\n- [Author](https://mboxviewerpro.com/author/index.md): who writes and maintains this.\n\n## Guides\n\n- [How to Export Gmail with Google Takeout (and Open It on Mac)](https://mboxviewerpro.com/guides/how-to-export-gmail-with-google-takeout/index.md): A step-by-step guide to exporting your Gmail to an MBOX file with Google Takeout, downloading it safely, and opening it instantly in Mbox Viewer on macOS.\n- [How to Open an MBOX File on Mac (Even Huge Ones)](https://mboxviewerpro.com/guides/how-to-open-mbox-file-on-mac/index.md): Three ways to open an MBOX file on macOS — Apple Mail, Thunderbird or a dedicated viewer — with the steps for each, and which one to pick for a multi-gigabyte…\n- [How to Convert MBOX to CSV, EML, and Text (and Extract Attachments)](https://mboxviewerpro.com/guides/convert-mbox-to-csv-and-eml/index.md): A practical guide to exporting an MBOX file into CSV spreadsheets, individual EML messages, plain text, and PDF — plus how to extract every attachment in bulk…\n- [Mbox Viewer Search Syntax Cheat Sheet](https://mboxviewerpro.com/guides/search-syntax-cheat-sheet/index.md): A complete reference for searching MBOX and EML archives in Mbox Viewer: from:, to:, subject:, body:, date:, has:attachment, size:>, OR, negation, and exact…\n- [How to Open a Thunderbird MBOX File on Mac](https://mboxviewerpro.com/guides/how-to-open-thunderbird-mbox-on-mac/index.md): Thunderbird stores your mail in standard mbox files — they just have no extension.

Cloudflare에도 무료 스캐너가 있는데, 던지는 질문이 다릅니다. 그쪽은 에이전트가 호출할 수 있도록 사이트가 게시한 것(MCP 서버 카드, Agent Skills, API 카탈로그, DNS 레코드)을 채점합니다. 저희는 에이전트가 콘텐츠에 도달해 읽고 이해할 수 있는지를 채점합니다. 한쪽은 좋고 다른 쪽은 나쁠 수 있으니 두 점수가 다른 것은 당연합니다. 서로 다른 질문에 대한 답이고, 둘 다 알아둘 가치가 있습니다.
