The MBOX email database format is used by mail systems for Windows, MacOS, Linux and Unix. By simply copying PST files, you can cause Outlook to malfunction. Therefore, when transferring data from PST to another location, it is necessary to properly process the information stored in them. For example, rules and alerts, view settings, or search folders. Besides, PST files store important additional properties of Outlook items and folders.

All data can be located in folders of distinct types: mail, calendars, and others. Microsoft Outlook uses the PST file format to store its data such as messages, contacts, appointments and meetings, tasks, notes, documents, journal entries, etc. This utility converts email messages from PST data files into MBOX format compatible with many email programs and systems. Most email clients support importing messages from MBOX files, but they don't work with PST files, which are only used in Microsoft Outlook.
