Once the files or profiles are added, select the items you want and click Next.

If you’re looking for a specific folder or email, use Search Tree Contents or Search Table Content and filter it by To, From, or Subject.

Just double-click the MBOX file to view all the emails in its table content.

You can view an email preview by double-clicking the message.

If the preview doesn’t load, turn on the View in browser if preview fails option. Once it's done, click the Next button.

Now, go to the File Formats section and choose the PDF option.

Use the tools in the Basic Options section:

• • Date Filter: Export only emails from a specific date range.
  • From: Pick the starting date.
  • To: Pick the ending date.
• Naming Convention: Choose how your converted files are named. This helps keep your files organized by adding dates, subjects, or other details to the file names automatically.
• Custom Folder Name: Give a custom name to the folder where your converted files will be saved.
• Skip Previously Converted Files: Turn this on to avoid converting files you’ve already converted before.

You can also choose from Advance options:

• Save Attachments Options: Decide how the tool handles email attachments:
  • Saves all attachments in a separate folder.
  • Insert attachment into same file: Keeps attachments inside the email file itself.
  • File without attachment: Converts emails but leaves out the attachments.
• Remove Duplicate Emails: This option helps get rid of repeated emails by checking details like To, From, Subject, Body, and CC.
• Merger Options for MBOX files: Combine multiple MBOX files either by their size or merge all of them into one big MBOX file.
• Split Option for Separate MBOX Files: Break down large MBOX files into smaller parts based on the size you pick (like 1MB, 5MB, etc.).
• Save PDF max 500 MB per MBOX: When saving emails as PDFs, this limits the PDF file size to a maximum of 500 MB to keep things manageable.
• Split Resultant PST File: Split the final PST file into smaller chunks (5MB, 10MB, 1GB, etc.) to avoid handling huge PST files that are hard to manage.
