This tool was built out of a simple need for a fast, reliable way to view Mbox archives without compromising on privacy. Whether you're opening a Google Takeout export or accessing old email backups, our viewer gives you instant access without any fuss.

Why Mbox Viewer?

‣ Truly private and secure: Your files are processed locally on your machine. We never see, store, or transmit your data. What's yours stays yours.
‣ Works completely offline: After the initial page load, the viewer functions perfectly without an internet connection, making it reliable and secure wherever you are.
‣ Fast and powerful: Opens large Mbox files and even entire folders of Mbox files with ease. The powerful search and filtering tools help you find exactly what you're looking for in seconds.
‣ Simple and intuitive interface: No complicated setup. Just drag and drop your file or folder to get started. View emails in a clean preview, or inspect the raw source.

Key features include:
⋅ Drag-and-drop support for single or multiple .mbox files.
⋅ Ability to open an entire folder of Mbox files at once.
⋅ Powerful text search across all emails.
⋅ Advanced filtering by date, sender, subject, and attachments.
⋅ Clean email preview with attachment handling.
⋅ Dark and light themes for comfortable viewing.
⋅ Export individual emails to PDF, EML, or HTML formats.

--- What's New in Version 1.5 ---
‣ Processing Engine: We've completely rebuilt the file handler for unmatched stability and speed, especially with huge archives.
‣ Dual-Mode Handling: The app now automatically uses a high-speed memory mode for smaller files (< 1 GB) and a robust database mode for huge archives, preventing browser crashes.
‣ New Welcome Guide: A new one-time introduction screen helps first-time users understand the app's power and performance expectations.
