MBox Viewer

MBox Viewer is a simple application designed to help users view e-mail archives from various services and applications such as Thunderbird or G-Mail, but can also view simple EML files if need be.

The program itself is quite simple, and that's great, especially if you are not a power user who knows every command there is to control a PC.

That is one good question, of course. It is advertised as being simple, when I'd rather call it friendly.

It offers plenty of features including support for the processing of large files, larger than 4GB to be more exact, quick access to any of the attachments contained by your imported files, the ability to directly print contents from within the opened files, and overall the option of changing and working with your e-mail files as if they were freshly sent.

This is also a great way to check your backups, if you've got any, and also restore files that are missing from the original service. The program felt very responsive.

Yes, the interface might be a tad old, but that is something that does not feel that relevant when trying to unlock your messages from whatever type of secure backup file you've imported.

If you feel you'd like to personalize your experience with this program, you can do that quite simply by adjusting the background colors and tones, adjusting the mail header, or relocating the message window.

It is also worth keeping in mind that this program also allows one to merge two or more such archives if you'd like to organize your e-mail archives in a better shape and form.

MBox Viewer is a simple application that only some user might find of interest since it deals with very specific e-mail files and archives, EML specific file types that are not that commonly used. Regardless, it performs as described and can be of great help.
