Yes, Apple Mail can open MBOX files by importing them through its built-in Import Mailboxes feature.

Hi all,

Yes, Apple Mail can open MBOX files, but there are a few conditions. If the MBOX file is properly formatted, you can import it into Apple Mail using the File > Import Mailboxes option. Once imported, you should be able to access the emails normally.

I had an older MBOX archive that Apple Mail wouldn't import, so I used SysTools MBOX Viewer (https://www.systoolsgroup.com/mbox-viewer.html) to check whether the file was intact. It let me open and read the emails without importing them into any email client. It made it easy to verify the mailbox contents before deciding what to do next.
