MBOX Viewer: PstViewer Pro Supports MBOX Email

What is MBOX?

Mbox has never been formally defined as a formal specification.  The term is applied to a grup of email messages that have been stored as plain text in a single file (mbox).  The email header information is broken out, including the fields holding the From/To/Subject and Date fields.  Though the text portion of email messages can be viewed by a standard text viewer, PstViewer Pro is able to organize the information so it appears in an organized mail list.

How to Open a MBOX File?

To open a MBOX file and view the emails inside with PstViewer Pro, first locate the file with the Explorer Tree, and select it.

PstViewer Pro will parse the MBOX file and display the individual emails in the mail list. To view any email in the list, just click on it.
