What is a .MBX file?
MBX is a mailbox file from Eudora or Outlook Express.
- Did you know
- MBX held a whole folder of email in classic desktop mail clients.
- MBX is a variant of the Unix mbox format and was the mailbox format Outlook Express used before version 6.
- Eudora versions 7 and earlier kept each mail folder in an MBX file while storing attachments separately.
- What Analyser reads
- Identify and read more email, calendar and contact files: Outlook for Mac archives (.olm) and templates (.oft), S/MIME .p7m/.p7s, Mozilla Mork stores (.msf/.mab), Eudora/Outlook Express mailboxes (.mbx/.toc), phone backups (.vmg SMS, .vnt notes), XML/JSON iCalendar and vCard (.xcal/.jcal/.xcard/.jcard), LDIF (.ldi) and legacy address books (.pab/.wab/.abbu).
- Depth of analysis
- .MBX is an identification-grade format: Analyser recognises it from its bytes and decodes the header metadata it carries, rather than opening it in a full viewer. Formats that do get a full viewer are marked "Full" on the formats page.
- Open a .MBX file
- Drag a .MBX file onto the Analyser home page (or tap to pick one). It is identified entirely in your browser - nothing is uploaded, there is no account, and it works offline once installed.
