User Reviews

  • Really glad to find and try this alpha-version. It takes some getting used to, but so far its a great simple tool for searching and reviewing .mbox files, particularly Gmail takeouts. Some suggestions/wants for future consideration: - extract/display unique ID in csv output; - or if print individual emails to html/pdf, enable the unique filename of the pdf or html to part of the csv output, possibly with their filepath (so they can be located or linked to); - similar for attachments to emails - output their unique ID or hash, and path in csv output; - enable email attachment metadata and text to also be part of csv output. I know that is probably asking alot. Thanks for the effort so far. Not a coder but happy to help/test. I sent a small donation by paypal.
  • Saved my day. Very good application.
  • I am very pleased with Windows MBox Viewer. The gmail takeout archives which I am accessing with MBox Viewer is over 15 GB and covers a span of about 17 years and includes many attachments, photos, videos, etc. I've used the search functions and various screen configurations, sorting and printing features, and all work flawlessly. I watched the short tutorial on this website, which I recommend -- it is very helpful, although MBox Viewer is very easy and user friendly and likely can be used without viewing the video. But the video has several useful tips. My gmail archives took about 10 hours to download. After downloading, I copied it onto a separate hard drive, along with MBox Viewer, which allowed me to plug the hard drive via USB into a different computer without installing MBox or the archives onto the other computer, which is quite handy. Very pleased.
  • I didn't have SourceForge account before I downloaded this application. I made an account exclusively because I felt like this app was amazing enough to merit my leaving a positive review. I had an .mbox file which, for some unknown reason, no application I used was able to open. Whether it be because of its size or anything else, it wasn't working. Any website or error I looked at suggested the file might have been corrupted. Then, I downloaded this app, and miraculously, it worked flawlessly. The file was a .mbox file which contained about four years' worth of emails, many of which were very important, some for personal reasons, some for professional. The account to which these emails are linked has since been deleted for reasons outside my control, and with this app, I'm still able to see all the emails in their original form. Tremendously, tremendously helpful. Invaluable.
  • This tool does everything I need. It provides search, the ability to save the results, the ability to merge multiple mbox files and eliminate duplicates. I've paid for and tried a number of other tools, but this is the best.
