Hi, I do not understand the program, it does not offer an option to open my Gmail exported *.mbox file.

Thanks for help

UserGuide.pdf is part of the package and describes all features. However, to Open the mbox file:

download and unzip the latest mbox-viewer.exe-v1.0.3.18.zip file
double left click on the mboxview.exe file
On the left top of the mboxview main window, either select File --> Select Folder with the mbox file installed, or
On the left top left click on the folder icon and select folder with the mbox file installed

Hope above helps. Let me know if that worked for you.

Thanks! It could not read the mbox file in the folder, maybe it was because crazy international characters and spaces created by Google. So I renamed it to english characters and now it works as you write!

The Mbox Viewer is not fully UNICODE. It supports UNICODE file names in most cases but may not the mbox file names. Thanks for letting me know.
