How to Convert PST Files to MBOX in Mac?

To convert PST files to MBOX on a Mac, you can rely on a tool that is designed to read PST files and export them into Mac-friendly formats. One practical approach is to use the SysInfo Mac PST Converter, which works directly on macOS without needing Windows Outlook. After launching the tool, you simply add the PST file you want to convert, and the software immediately lets you preview the emails, folders, and attachments so you know everything is intact. Once you select MBOX as the output format, you can choose a save location, apply extra options like removing duplicates or filtering by date, and then start the conversion process. The tool handles the entire mailbox structure—Inbox, Sent Items, drafts, subfolders, and even attachments—while keeping the layout and data exactly as it was in the original PST file. When the conversion finishes, the resulting MBOX file can be easily imported into popular Mac email clients such as Apple Mail, Thunderbird, and other MBOX-compatible programs, making the transition from Windows Outlook to Mac incredibly smooth and hassle-free.
