Provide as many details as possible, such as country, screenshots, etc. 5 Overview MBox Viewer (or mboxview) is Windows GUI based program to view mbox files such as Thunderbird Archives, Google mail archives or simple Eml files. The mbox viewer is a simple but quite powerful email viewer that supports the following features: 1. large file support > 4Gb 2. fast parsing of mbox archives 3. quick access to all attachments 4. preview picture attachments 5. zoom in/out a picture 6. export of single mail in Eml 7. export of all mails in Eml format 8. export attachments of all mails 9. print all or multiple selected mails to CSV or Text or HTML or PDF files or send to PDF printer 10. print single mail to Text or HTML or PDF file or send to PDF printer 11. group all related mails as conversations 12. print mail conversation/related mails group to CSV or Text or HTML or PDF file or send to PDF printer 13. open single or multiple selected mails or group of related mails in a browser 14. find user defined text in mail’s message and highlight all occurrences 15. search the date, subject, sender, cc, bcc, message text, appendix text and appendix names 16. search for mails that didn’t match the search criteria 17. sort by date, from, to, subject, size and conversation groups 18. support for mail’s header fields and body encoded with different character sets 19. support for mail list editing capability to enable users to compose mail list by merging results of multiple searches and/or by merging one or more user selected mails 20. ability to set Message Window position to Bottom, Right or Left 21. ability to merge/concatenate multiple archive files and remove duplicate mails 22. ability to customize background colors of display panes and mail message 23. ability to customize HTML/PDF mail header output 5 24. view raw mail headers 25. forward mails directly from MBox Viewer 26. support for Gmail Labels 6 Known Issues 6.1 Mbox/Eml File Names Non ASCII mail archive file names will likely be silently ignored by the Mbox Viewe and should be renamed. 6.2 Gmail Label names Only ANSI characters are supported in Gmail Labels. Also, the displayed labels names may differ from received from Gmail if they contain one or more of the following characters: ? < > : * | \ % . The listed characters will be replaced with the underscore character and the unique number will be appear at the end the label name. Future releases will attempt to resolve this limitation. 6.3 Printing to PDF Mbox Viewer relies on external applications to print directly to PDF. Google Chrome browser always prints header and footer which is typically undesired. Added support for Microsoft Edge browser in v1.0.3.19 to print directly to PDF with no header and footer. Developer version of the Chrome browser called Chrome Canary can also be used to remove header and footer. Chrome Canary browser may not be fully stable but experience shows it seem to work well for printing to pdf. User can also leverage free wkhtmltopdf application to print to pdf. The wkhtmltopdf is highly customizable but not as reliable as Chrome and the user needs to evaluate whether it works reliably in his case. Opening group of mails in a browser and printing from the browser offers additional options such as ability to remove color in the output or scale the pages. 6.4 Opening Multiple Selected Mails in External Browser Mbox Viewer simply concatenates multiple mails in HTML format into a single HTML file and opens the created file within a browser. The format of the created file is as follows: <div><html><mail 1 header in HTML format></html></div> <div><html><mail 1 body in HTML format></html></div> <div><html><mail 2 header in HTML format></html></div> <div><html><mail 2 body in HTML format></html></div> <div><html><mail 3 header in HTML format></html></div> 6 <div><html><mail 3 body in HTML format></html></div> ………………… The <div> tags are used in an attempt to create independent sections within HTML document. The approach doesn’t always work reliably for variety of reasons. One known issue is that some mails with content in HTML format rely on default values such as the font size and may inherit the font size from other mails.
