Extract Attachments From MBOX in 6 Steps
Six screens follow one extraction job from the first click to the saved files. Select any step to see its screen. Software Guide covers every screen in detail.
Step 1. Launch the Extractor
Click Start, open All Programs and select the MBOX Attachment Extractor entry. Two buttons wait on the first screen, one for files and one for folders.
Step 2. Add MBOX Files or a Folder
Click Add File or Add Folder and select your files. MBOX files with and without extension and MBS files load together or one type at a time. Open the MBX tab for MBX files. Use Remove or Remove All when you add a wrong file.
Step 3. Select a Folder Hierarchy
Select Maintain Folder Hierarchy to keep the on disk folder structure. The file type folder option sorts JPG and PDF files into their own folders. No Folder Hierarchy drops the structure and Create Single Folder saves everything in one outer folder.
Step 4. Choose the Destination Folder
Wait until the folders of your MBOX files finish loading. Click Change to select the folder that receives the attachments and click Next.
Step 5. Apply Filters and Click Extract
The Filter window holds a Date filter for a date range, a File Size filter and a File Type filter. The naming option saves files under a pattern you set. Click Extract when the settings look right and click OK after the job ends.
Step 6. Check the Progress and Report
Progress Summary lists files done, files pending and the destination path. Open the destination to view the extracted folders and attachments. An Export Report in CSV format sits beside them and opens on your system.
Try the steps on your own MBOX files. Free demo saves 10 attachments.
MBOX Attachment Extractor Features for Selective Extraction
MBOX attachment extractor features from PCVITA, grouped by task and tied to the files you load.
Load MBOX, MBX and MBS Files to Save Attachments
Add a single file or a full folder and batch mode saves the attachments of many files together.
Single Files and Full Folders
Select one MBOX file or a folder of files. Multiple MBOX attachments leave in one shot.
Three File Types Together
MBOX with extension, MBOX without extension and MBS files load as a mix or one type at a time.
MBX Files on Their Own Tab
Open the MBX tab to add MBX files. Keep the MBX file and its Attach folder in the same location.
Search and Remove
Click Search to find MBOX files on your system. Remove and Remove All drop files you added by mistake.
Any Client That Writes MBOX
Files from Apple Mail, Gmail MBOX, Entourage and Eudora load the same way.
Folder Hierarchy and Naming Options for Saved Attachments
In the MBOX attachment extractor four layouts decide where attachments land. A naming pattern decides what they are called.
Maintain Folder Hierarchy
Keeps the complete on disk folder structure of the MBOX files or folder you selected.
File Type Folders
Stores JPG attachments in one folder and PDF attachments in another.
No Folder Hierarchy
Removes the folder structure when attachments save.
Create Single Folder
Creates one outer folder that holds all attachments.
Naming Convention
Apply a naming pattern to attachments and to the attachment folder.
Date, File Size and File Type Filters to Extract Attachments Selectively
Filters cut a large job down to the attachments you need. MBOX attachment extractor settings keep everything else off your drive.
Date Filter
Enter a Start Date and an End Date and extract attachments from that range only.
File Size Filter
Extract attachments up to a size or above a size. The old limit sits below 100 MB.
Include or Exclude File Types
Enter extensions like PDF or PPT to include them or leave them out.
Name Pattern for Specific Files
Pair a filter with the naming option to save files under names you chose.
Attachment Properties and Extraction Reports
Files keep their attributes during extraction and a report shows how the job went. MBOX attachment extractor software writes both.
Attributes Stay Intact
The software preserves attachment attributes for every file regardless of size or type.
Progress Summary
Files done, files pending and the destination path appear on screen.
Success and Failure Report
Counts show how many files exported, how many failed and how many extracted successfully.
CSV Export Report
Open the CSV file on your system to check the job later.
Test every option on your own MBOX files. Demo edition stops at 10 attachments, so you can buy after the test.
Why Extract MBOX Attachments in Bulk
Four jobs where extractor software beats opening messages one by one.
- 1
Many MBOX Files Need Batch Mode
Add Folder loads a full folder in one go. You skip the repeat work of opening files singly.
- 2
Only Some Attachments Matter
Date, size and type filters save the PDFs from last year and leave the rest behind.
- 3
Folders Need Order
Four layouts keep the original structure or collect all files in one folder.
- 4
Results Need Proof
The progress window and the CSV report show how many files saved and how many failed.
Prepare Before You Extract MBOX Attachments
Six checks before your first extraction job. Tick the boxes in order, then open the software.
- Copy your MBOX files. Keep the originals untouched and load the copy.
- Keep every MBX file next to its Attach folder. The MBX tab needs both.
- Install .NET Framework from Microsoft. Version 4.5 or above is the requirement.
- Start the software with Run as Administrator. Windows 10, 8.1, 8 and 7 need it.
- Choose a destination drive with free space. Keep 100 MB free for the install as well.

Reviews From Users Who Extracted MBOX Attachments
Ratings collected on pcvita.com and customer words after a job with the MBOX attachment extractor.
This software to extract MBOX Attachments has been a great help. I had over a hundred MBOX files containing attachments of different file extensions and I only required the PDF files and PPTs from these. I had no clue how to go through these and pull out attachments of the respective file formats without wasting a lot of time and effort. This tool helped me a lot as I just had to enter the extensions for PDF and PPT to include these files and the work was done in minutes.
The extraction process has never been this easy. I have been handling this extraction task since long and I was always so tired as there were so many that I had to take out attachments from. I finally found the MBOX Attachment Extractor tool that made the work comparatively easier and I could cover more ground than I used to before I had this tool. It is just like swishing a magic wand!
I was unable to find solutions to extract MBOX attachments extracted from my Apple mail. I tried a lot of methods but was nowhere near getting even one MBOX attachment exported successfully using those. Then a friend suggested using this software. It has worked like a miracle for me. Never have I ever seen a tool work so smoothly without wasting any time, any hassles, or any data loss. Thanks for all the help this software has provided me with.
