To manually import MBOX into Google Workspace, you can follow these simple steps:
  1. Install an email client like Mozilla Thunderbird on your computer.
  2. Import the MBOX file into Thunderbird so all emails become visible.
  3. Add your Google Workspace (Gmail) account to Thunderbird using IMAP settings.
  4. Wait for the Gmail account folders to sync with Thunderbird.
  5. After syncing, drag and drop the emails or folders from the imported MBOX mailbox into your Google Workspace folders.
  6. Thunderbird will upload the emails to your Google Workspace account automatically.
This manual method works, but it can take time if you have large MBOX files or many emails. There is also a chance of sync issues during the process.
For a simpler and faster solution, many users prefer using a BLR MBOX Converter Tool, which helps process MBOX mailbox data and supports smoother migration workflows with less manual effort.
