What Are the Common Issues in MBOX Conversion?
by Brantanson01 brantanson - Saturday, 28 February 2026, 1:42 AM
 

I am trying to convert my old email data stored in MBOX files to another email format for use in a different email client. During the conversion process, I am facing several problems, such as missing emails, broken folder structure, incorrect date and time of messages, and some attachments not opening properly after conversion. In a few cases, the tool I used also stopped responding while processing large MBOX files. I would like to know from experienced users what the most common issues are that usually occur during MBOX conversion. Also, what precautions should be taken to avoid data loss, corrupted files, or incomplete conversion when handling large or multiple MBOX files?
