Getting Started with mbox Files

What is an mbox file?

An mbox file is a common format for storing email messages. Gmail and other email providers allow you to export your emails in this format.

How to get your mbox file from Gmail:

Step 1: Go to Google Takeout and sign in with your Google account.

Step 2: Select only the Gmail service.

Step 3: Select your export options. We recommend selecting a file size of 50gb in case you have a large email account. Then click "Create export".

Step 4: When you receive the email from Google, download your data. Inside the zip file you downloaded, you will find an mbox file.

Step 5: Launch our app!
