How to Import MBOX file into Apple Mac Mail?

Mail in Mac OS X can import messages that were exported from Windows Live Mail, Windows Mail, Outlook Express and Mozilla Thunderbird mails as in mbox files.

  1. Leaders in quality: Our software converts each and every element and important details of your WLM .eml emails to Outlook.
  2. Convert your email messages from the program Windows Live Mail, Windows Mail, Outlook Express and Mozilla Thunderbird mails as an mbox file using Windows Live Mail to Mac Mail converter tool.
  3. After the conversion is complete, copy the converted MBOX file from your PC to your Mac. You could do this by burning the file to a CD, by copying the file to an external drive that is formatted as FAT32 and then connecting the drive to your Mac, by copying it via a network connection between the Mac and PC, or via your iDisk if you are a MobileMe subscriber.
  4. In Mac OS X, click the Mail icon in the Dock.
  5. If you do not already have your email account configured in Mail, use the Mail Setup Assistant (if you are in the United States), or see this article. It is recommended that you use IMAP if possible, so that messages can be easily accessed by you from more than one computer or email application.
  6. From the File menu, choose Import Mailboxes.
  7. Choose "mbox files" from the "Import data from:" list, then click Continue.
  8. Select the file that you transferred from the PC.  Your messages should be imported into Mail.
