Asteria

MBX to CSV

Turn Mailbox files into CSV spreadsheet files on your own Mac, Windows or Linux computer. Asteria is free, works offline, and never uploads your files.

How to do it

  1. Download Asteria and open it. It's free and needs no account.
  2. Drop your MBX files onto its window, or press ⌘O (Ctrl O on Windows) to choose them. Drop as many as you like.
  3. Type mbox to csvand press Enter. List every email in an .mbox as CSV rows.
  4. Press ⌘↵ (Ctrl ↵ on Windows) to save. The CSV files appear next to the originals, which stay exactly as they were.

What it needs

Nothing. This conversion is built into Asteria, so it works the moment the app is open, even offline.

How it was tested

A real MBX file was converted on macOS on Apple silicon and Linux, and the CSV that came out was opened and checked with UTF-8 text to make sure it is what it says it is.
