To manually convert MBOX to PST, first, import the MBOX file into Mozilla Thunderbird using the ImportExportTools NG add-on. Next, configure an IMAP email account (such as Gmail, Yahoo, or Outlook.com) in Thunderbird and sync MBOX emails by moving them to the IMAP folder. Finally, add the same IMAP account in Microsoft Outlook, then export the emails as a PST file via File > Import/Export. The main drawback of this method is that it is time-consuming, requires IMAP configuration, and may lead to data loss if not done properly. To avoid these complexities, you can use DRS MBOX to PST Converter, a professional tool that converts MBOX files to PST quickly without requiring Thunderbird or IMAP configuration.
