There are two primary ways to convert an MBOX file to a PST file format: Manual and Professional. Both have their own benefits and what the user chooses depends entirely on their preferences. Here my aim is to expose both methods to Convert MBOX file into Outlook PST file format. I hope that after reading this blog, it will be easy for the user to decide which method is right for them.

Manual Method to Move MBOX file into Outlook:-  

1:- For Outlook 2007 & Below Versions:

A:- Import MBOX file into Eudora Email Client:-

• First of all users need to export MBOX file from their used email client.
• Now users need to install & run Eudora Email client to import MBOX file.
• Change the file format of MBOX file like- Name.MBOX >> Name.MBX.
• Now copy the Name.MBX file and paste it on that default location of Eudora Email where all its MBX files are stored.
