How do I export MBOX files into PST for Outlook?

To export MBOX files into PST for Outlook, you need to follow a few steps since Outlook does not support MBOX format directly. MBOX is used by email clients like Thunderbird, Apple Mail, and others, while Outlook uses the PST format. Here's a straightforward way to convert:

1.Install and set up Thunderbird (if you don't already have it).

2.Import your MBOX files into Thunderbird using the ImportExportTools NG add-on.

3.Once imported, configure Outlook and set it as your default email client.

4.Use an IMAP-based email account (like Gmail) to sync emails from Thunderbird to the cloud, then access the same account in Outlook to download them.

5.Finally, in Outlook, go to File > Open & Export > Import/Export, and choose Export to a file > Outlook Data File (.pst) to export your mailbox.

This indirect method allows you to successfully export MBOX files into PST for Outlook without losing data. Alternatively, for a more efficient and accurate process, you can use third-party MBOX to PST converter tools available online.
