You can turn any MBOX file into individual EML files in a few clicks. Open it in readmbox.com and export to EML. Each email comes out as its own .eml file, unchanged, ready to import into Thunderbird, Outlook, or Apple Mail.
Step 1: Get your MBOX file
If your email is in Gmail, export it with Google Takeout:
- Go to takeout.google.com.
- Click Deselect all, then scroll down to Mail and check it.
- Click Next step, set the file size to 50 GB to get one file, and click Create export.
- When Google emails you, download the ZIP and double-click it to unzip. Your .mbox file is inside.
Already have an .mbox file from Thunderbird or Apple Mail? Skip to Step 2.
Step 2: Open the MBOX file in readmbox.com
Go to readmbox.com and click Choose an .mbox file. Pick your file and all your emails open in the browser.
It's private: your MBOX file stays on your computer and is never sent to any server.
Step 3: Export to EML
Use the search and date filters to narrow down to the emails you need. Then click Export and choose EML.
Your EML files download ready to open or import into Thunderbird, Outlook, or Apple Mail.
That's it
No software to install, and your email never leaves your computer. Try it at readmbox.com.
