Read MBOX files of any size on Mac & Windows, offline




Mbox Viewer Pro opens, searches and exports MBOX and EML email archives of any size, from a few KB to 50+ GB, natively on Mac and Windows. Back up your Gmail with Google Takeout and read it offline, or open Thunderbird and Apple Mail mailboxes as they are: no import, no conversion, no account.
A streaming parser reads huge files without loading them into memory, and a binary index makes every re-open take under a second. A 50 GB archive opens in under 5 minutes using less than 600 MB of RAM.
Key features:
Full search syntax (from:, to:, subject:, date:, has:attachment, size:, OR, exact phrases)
Gmail labels read straight from Takeout, with live counts
Conversation threading (JWZ algorithm)
Export to EML, CSV, text, PDF, HTML or a new MBOX with just the messages you pick
Merge mailboxes with deduplication and repair damaged ones
Properties, MIME tree and hex views for technical and forensic work
100% offline and read-only: no cloud, no telemetry, the original file is never modified
Truly native: no Electron, no Java. Localized into 21 languages
Free for mailboxes up to 1 GB, with no time limit or watermarks. Pro removes the size limit and adds batch PDF/HTML export, repair and unlimited merges, as a one-time purchase or yearly subscription. Available on the Mac App Store and Microsoft Store.
Built on mboxShell, my open-source terminal tool for MBOX files.
