How It Works?

Using the drives/folders tree view control, browse to the file folder containing your MBOX files. And click a MBOX file in the tree view control to load all the emails of that MBOX in the list view control located on the upper right section. You can see the subject, attachments, from, to, received time of each email entry in this list view. 

You will notice that emails that contain attachments are differentiated by the presence of the attachment in the icon of the email item. The ‘Attachments‘ column in the list view also shows the number of attachments each email has.

Clicking one of this email entry will load the contents for viewing in the lower right viewer control, along with any attachments.

Accessing and Extracting attachments from emails in MBOX

Just above the preview of the email body content, the attachments (if any) present in the email are shown. To view and open an attachment, double-click it or right click and select ‘Open‘. This will prompt you with a warning and confirmation, it will open the attachment in the associated app/software available in your system.

To save an attachment, right click the attachment and select ‘Save As‘. This will popup the save as dialog box where you can choose the destination folder in your computer to save the attachment. To save all the attachments, choose ‘Save All Attachments…‘ and specify the folder location from the browse folder dialog box.

To remove an attachment permanently from an email within the MBOX, select ‘Remove Attachment‘ from the context menu.
