If you are familiar with the procedure and you need to convert a limited number of MBOX files, the manual techniques are a viable choice. However, you should use a third-party MBOX to PST converter application like BLR MBOX Converter Software, if you have a large number of MBOX files to convert or if you would like not to deal with the inconvenience of the manual technique. Before converting the emails in the MBOX file, you can filter them. This allows you to convert only the emails that you need. With the help of this tool, you can save the converted PST file to a variety of locations, including your local computer, Hard Drive, C: Drive, etc. Get the free demo edition of this tool to learn more about the software.
