To
open an MBOX file in Outlook manually, you must first convert the MBOX file to a compatible format like PST (Personal Storage Table). This process involves several steps and can be quite complex. Begin by using an email client like Mozilla Thunderbird to import the MBOX file. Once imported, you need to install an add-on such as ImportExportTools NG to export the emails from Thunderbird in EML format. Afterward, you can use Outlook's drag-and-drop feature to move these EML files into Outlook, creating a new folder for them. Finally, export this folder to a PST file using Outlook's export function.
However, this manual process comes with challenges. It is time-consuming, requires multiple software installations, and involves a steep learning curve, especially for non-technical users. Additionally, there is a risk of data loss or corruption during the conversion process.
