Read and search .mbox mail archives
Mbox Viewer is a GTK4 desktop application for reading and searching .mbox archives.
An .mbox file concatenates every message in a mailbox into one long text file. Mbox Viewer imports an archive once into a local SQLite database with a full-text search index, so that messages become individually addressable and searching across subjects, addresses and message bodies is effectively instant, even for large archives.
Features:
- Import a single .mbox file, or a folder of them (re-importing is cheap)
- Full-text search over subject, From/To/Cc and bodies (SQLite FTS5)
- Chunked, sortable message browsing
- HTML message rendering via WebKit (plain-text fallback)
- Inline image gallery, plus attachment save/open
- One-click database reset
