5 Installation
The executable and the source code can be downloaded from Sourceforge or Github.
https://sourceforge.net/projects/mbox-viewer/files/
https://github.com/eneam/mboxviewer/releases
Download the executable package, the latest mbox-viewer.exe-v1.0.3.0.zip, to the working
directory and unzip. This will create the mbox-viewer.exe-v1.0.3.0 directory and the stand-alone
mboxview.exe executable and User Guide in that directory. No administrator privileges are
required.
5

6 Running the MBox viewer
The mboxview program can be executed by double clicking the executable from the explorer
window or from the command line by typing the command name and argument list to it.

6.1 Argument List Summary
The mboxview accept the following command line options.
-FOLDER=folderPath – the full path to the folder containing one or more mbox or eml files.
Persists in the registry across multiple runs.
-MAIL_FILE=fileName – full file path or just file name of mbox/eml file to load. If the full path is
not specified, the full path is created from the folderPath and the fileName. Doesn’t persist in the
registry across multiple runs.
-EXPORT_EML=y|n – enables or disables automatic export of eml files generated from mbox
archive. Improves traversing performance of mail if set to ‘n”. Persists in the registry across
multiple runs.
-PROGRESS_BAR_DELAY=seconds – search progress bar is activated when the search duration
lasts longer than the value set for PROGRESS_BAR_DELAY. If set to -1, the progress bar is
disables. Default value is set to 1 seconds. Persists in the registry across multiple runs.
If desired, instead of typing directly desired command line options, a simple .cmd or .bat file can be
created for convenience and run from the explorer.

6.2 Setting Options from GUI
The EXPORT_EML and PROGRESS_BAR_DELAY values can be changed on the fly at any
time from GUI.
Click on the “File” to open the drop menu and then select the “Options” option. The below dialog
will be presented. Set the desired values followed by OK button.
Note that if exporting of EML files is disabled, you can still export the eml file for the selected mail
by selecting “View EML” under the “View” drop menu.
Two options, “Show Charsets” and “Set Character Sets for Header Fields”, can help to properly
display header fields in the Message Window. See 6.15.1.1 for additional details.
The “Picture Viewer” check box enables/disables the dialog option to preview the picture
attachments, see 6.9 for additional details.
The “Time” option allows to display time as Local or GMT.

6.3 Basic Use Case
Double click of the mboxview to start the viewer. The picture below shows the screen created by
the mboxview after few steps performed by a user. Mail Archive, Summary and Message windows
are initially blank after start-up. Steps to load a mail archive and display the content are described
next.
Mail List Auditing Dialog Bar

Mail Summary List
Window
Mail Archive
Tree Window
Header of Message Window

Mail Message/Body
Window

1. Click on the “File” to open the drop menu and then select the “Select folder...” option.
Browse to the folder containing one or more mbox and/or eml mail archive files and select
it. All valid mail archive files will appear in the Mail Archive Tree window.

2. Click on one of the archive files to load all mails within the archive. Progress bar will
appear and automatically close after the selected archive is fully processed. Mail header
information of each email will appear in the Summary window.
Note that parsing of very large archive file may take some time since the mail archives are
text files and every character has to be examine one by one. However, subsequent loading
of mails is done from the index file created by the mboxview during the initial parsing of the
archive file. The created index file contains the header information, content meta data of
each mail in the archive file and the position of each mail within the mail file for quick
access to the mail message/body. Loading from the index file is much faster. The index files
have the .mboxview suffix.

3. Left Click on one of the mails in the Summary window to show the Message/Body of that
email in the Message window. The mail retrieval state is shown on the status bar. Opening
a link within an external browser is recommended since running Java or scripts or ActiveX
controls is disabled in the internal browser to improve security.

6.4 Message Window Position
Message Window position can be set to Bottom, Right or Left via View→Message Window option.
After setting new position, mbox viewer needs to be restarted for the change to take effect.
When position is set to Right or Left, the mail address format will change to show mail name only
or mail address if the name is missing.
By default Message Window position is set to Bottom.

6.5 Mail Context Menu
Right Click on a selected email in the Summary Window to open the context menu as shown below.
The “Print” context menu allows to print the selected email or group of emails (conversations) to
Text or HTML files, send to the user selected printer or to open in the external default application.
The name of the created file will be created based on the archive file name with the .txt or .html
suffix in the directory housing the archive file.
The “Find” option allows to find user defined text and highlight all occurrences in the Message
windows.
The “Find Advanced” options will start the advanced search dialog and pre-populate From, To and
Subject fields from the mail.

6.6 Mail Archive Context menu
Right click on the active mail archive under the Mail Archive Tree Window to open the context
menu as shown below.

The context menu allows to print all email to CSV or Text or HTML files. The name of the created
file will be created based on the archive file name with the .csv or .txt or .html suffix in the
11

directory housing the archive file. NOTE that mails will be printed according to the sort order in the
summary window.
Size of HTML file can be very large and opening in some browsers can be problematic. Microsoft
Edge and Google Chrome browser seem to perform best as far as handling large HTML files.
HTML to Text conversion was added in 1.0.2.8 to handle mails with HTML text block and no Plain
text. Conversion is quite slow and print time could increase significantly compared to 1.0.2.7 in
case a large number of conversions is required. Progress bar was added to indicate progress,
possibly slow progress.
All mails of the active archive can be sorted by date, from, to subject, size and conversations in the
Summary Window. This feature is the same as the left click on the selected column in the Summary
Window.
The “Properties” option shows the archive file location, size and email count
The “Refresh Index File” option will perform fresh parse of the archive file if needed.

6.6.1

Print to CSV File Dialog

When printing selected mail archive to CSV file, user can select what fields to export and the date
format.
Option to normalize content encoding is also available. Default encoding is set to UTF-8 and should
not be changed except possibly in special cases.

6.7 Mail Attachments
Mail attachments are shown at the bottom of the Message window. Note that the “*’ character may
appear in the first column for the associated mail to indicate presence of associated attachments. To
open location of attachments, double click on the mail in the Summary window or select
“View”→”ViewEML” menu option. Temporary folder will open containing all attachments for the
email. Use standard Windows applications to view attachments.
12

You can also double left click to view attachments. Picture attachments will be viewed in the
Picture Viewer (if configured in the global Options) and other file types will be viewed by the
associated default Windows applications.

6.7.1

Attachment context menu

Right click on the selected attachment to open the context menu. The context menu allows to open
or print the attachment by the associated default application. You can also open the folder housing
the attachment. The selected attachment will be highlighted in the folder.

6.8 Inline Image Cache
The mboxview will create the cache of inline images to support images embedded directly into the
mail body/message. The cache is created during the initial parsing of the mail archive file. Separate
cache folder is created per each archive file (assuming at least one inline image was found) in the
FolderHousingMailArchives/ImageCache folder. If the inline image cache is missing for any
reason, try to refresh the index file by selecting “Refresh Index File” context option on the
respective file archive.

6.9 Picture Viewer
Double left Click on any attachment to start Picture Viewer dialog, example below.

The Picture Viewer supports files with the png, jpg, jpeg, jpe, gif, bmp, ico, tif, tiff, jfif, emf, wmf,
dib suffixes.
The NEXT and PREV controls enable user to browse all picture/image attachments associated with
the selected email. You can select specific attachment to be displayed. You can later browse through
all picture attachments.
The ROTATE control allow to rotate clockwise the current/visible picture.
The ZOOM control allows to zoom in/out picture. Click on ZOOM to enable/disable zooming.
Slide to right to enlarge an image, slide to left to shrink. Enlarged image can be dragged using the
14

left and scroll buttons of the mouse. Click ZOOM to disable zooming and reset the image to
original size.
The PRINT control allow to print via default application.
The Picture Viewer is enabled by default but it can be disabled via FILE→Options dialog. Setting
persists in the Registry across multiple runs.
All attachments are also accessible by double clicking on the selected mail in the Summary window
or by selecting “View”→”ViewEML” menu option.

6.10

Mail Navigation

Click on a specific mail in the Summary window and use UP, DOWN keys to move to the next or
previous mail respectively.
Use HOME key to jump to the first mail. Use END key to jump to the last mail.

6.11

Mail Sorting

The Summary window is divided into 6 columns: attachment indicator, date, from, to, subject and
mail size. Each column can be sorted by clicking on the column title. Subsequent click on the same
column title will reverse the sorting rule. By clicking on the attachment indicator title, emails are
sorted by conversations and mark by different colour as shown below.
Mail can also be sorted via the mail archive context menu or by selecting “File”->“Sort By” menu
option.

6.12

Dynamic Column Resize

Columns in the Summary windows are automatically resized when the window is resized.
However, if columns are resized manually, some of the columns may no longer be present in visible
area/window.
You may need to use the scroll bar to see missing columns, otherwise maximize and then restore the
window to see all columns within the Summary window again.

6.13

Mail Searching

Mbox viewer supports two search options, i.e. basic Find and advanced Find.
The basic Find option allows users to specify single keyword for searching across header fields,
mail text and attachments.
The advanced Find option allows user to specify keyword per each header field, mail text and
attachments.

6.13.1

Basic Find

The basic Find option allows users to specify single keyword/string for searching across header
fields, mail text and attachments
Users can configure the search scope by selecting all or subset of the from, to, subject, message and
text attachments options.
Click the “Edit” drop menu and select “Find” option to configure and start the search. Alternatively
the CTRL+F will also present the search dialog.
The search dialog box allows user to specify the search string, whether to match the whole word,
whether the search is case sensitive, configure the search scope, the start and end dates to consider
for filtering, the Next/Previous search direction and whether to highlight all occurrences of the
matched text.
Note that the Next search start with the oldest email while the Previous search starts with the latest.
The search logic simple, i.e. mail is considered a match if the search string is found in any of the
checked fields I that mail.

To repeat the search in order to find the next matching mail, click the “Edit” drop menu and select
“Find again” option, or select F3 key.
If “Find again” or F3 key is selected without prior “Find” or CTRL+F, the search dialog box will
be presented to a user.

6.13.1.1

Find All Occurrences Option

User can check “Find all occurrences” to find all matching mails. Highlighting of all keyword
occurrences is not supported in this case. Matched mails will be displayed under the Find Mails List
and the corresponding button in the dialog bar will be highlighted. User can left click on All Mails
button to switch mail list back to All Mails.
The basic Find can also be run while in the Find Mails list and while in User Selected Mails list
when the list is enabled.

6.13.2

Advanced Find

The advanced Find option allows user to specify keyword per each header field, mail text and
attachments.
Users can configure the search scope by selecting all or subset of the from, to, subject, message and
text attachments options.
Click the “Edit” drop menu and select “Find Advanced” option to configure and start the search.
The Find Advanced is also available as menu option for the selected mail. Right click on the mail
and select Find Advanced option. Mbox viewer will pre-populate From, To and Subject fields in this
case.

Only checked fields are use by matching logic, search strings are ignored if present unless field is
checked.
The search logic is hard-coded for most common cases and described in the search dialog.

6.13.3

Search Reliability

Searching may not work as expected in all cases due to different character sets on input and in the
mails.
Base64 or “quoted-printable” text content blocks and text attachments are first decoded before the
search to eliminate false negative results.
Searching of the header fields is performed on the received raw data.
Raw mail data may contain plain text and/or html text blocks. Both encode the same/similar
content. If the mail contains plain text blocks, only plain text will be searched. If the mail doesn’t
contain any plain text blocks, the html text blocks will be searched.
False positive results may happen when searching text/html content blocks since the html tags are
not ignored when searching. The search string may match one of the html tags and result in false
positive match.
If possible, use ASCII characters only to compose the search string.

6.13.4

Special Search Key

The single character ‘*’, i.e. the star character can be specified as the search string to enable
traversing the subset of mails between the start and end dates.

6.13.5

Search Progress Bar

Search progress bar displays the progress along the configured search string and enables user to
cancel the search is so desired. The progress bar is not created unless a given search duration lasts
longer than the delay time controlled by -PROGRESS_BAR_DELAY command line option or
specified via GUI. Default value is 1 second.

6.13.6

Search Performance

Searching of header fields performs best since all fields reside in the memory.
Searching of messages and text attachments may take some time for very large files, say larger than
10-20 Gbytes. Search requires to read the content blocks from the email file and decode the content
when required. Worse case scenario is when the specified search string is not present in the mail
archive. When activated, the search progress bar shows the configured search string and enables
user to cancel the search is so desired.
Note that when searching of message and text attachments is configured, all mails will be sorted by
date first, except when sorted by conversations, to maximize search performance.

6.14

Refreshing Archive Tree Window

If an additional mbox or eml file is placed in the already selected folder, the Archive Tree window
needs to be refreshed to see the new additions. This can be done by selecting “Refresh” option
under the “File” drop menu or by clicking on the button showed below.

6.15

Language (Character Sets) Support

6.15.1

Message Window

Different languages (character sets) are properly supported in the Message Window. This is thanks
to the Microsoft Web Browser emulation/control class integrated into the mboxview. The mboxview
generates the htm file from the mail’s body and Web Browser displays the generated file in the
Message window.
Display may not be correct if the character set for the mail’s body is not defined in the mail. To
resolve the incorrect display, you can try to apply different encoding by right clicking within the
window, selecting “encoding” and “more” options to apply different language.

6.15.1.1

Header of Message Window

The text of the mail header fields is displayed correctly as long as the corresponding field encoding
type is present in the email.

Two global options can be used to address incorrect field presentation in the Message Header in
case the field encoding is not present in the email. Missing field encoding type may or may not be a
problem. It should not be a problem if the default/local character set installed on your computer
matches the original encoding of the header fields. It might be an issue if you are receiving emails
from different countries.
As shown below, you can see all encoding/character sets applied to the header fields by enabling
“Show Charsets” option. To enable, select “Options” from the “File” drop menu and enable “Show
Charsets”.

If the field text presentation is not correct, you can try to configure character set (or so called code
page according to Microsoft terminology) for the selected header fields and see if that helps. Per
field code pages can be configured via Options dialog box. Note that the user provided encoding
doesn't override encoding in the email, if present, which is denoted by the code page greater than
zero. Code Page set to zero indicates missing or unknown character set.
If you change the code page value(s) in the Options Dialog box, you need to refresh the selected
email by going up and down (or down and up).
All Windows supported code pages are listed in chapter 7 or can be viewed in the external Browser
by selecting “View”→”View Code Page Ids”.
The character set information appears after the field title and is formatted as “(character set
name/code page)”. The ‘*” star character is appended after the code page if the user specified code
is applied). Example “(UTF-8/65001*)”.
The character set information after the “Date:’ title shows the local/default character set installed on
your computer.

6.15.2

Summary Window

Mail header fields are displayed correctly as long as the corresponding field encoding type is
present in the email.

6.16

Mail List Auditing

Mail list auditing capability enables users to compose mail list from all mails by merging results of
multiple searches and/or by merging one or more user selected mails.

To support list auditing, the Mbox Viewer maintains 3 internal mail lists:
• All Mails list is populated from the selected archive file under the Mail Tree.
• Find Mails list is populated by the search results. User can run Find Advanced dialog or set
the Find All Occurrences option in the Find dialog.
• User Selected Mails list is composed by a user from the mails in the All Mails and Find
Mails lists.
Each internal mail list has associated button in the dialog bar located next to the tool bar. When a
particular mail list is shown in the Mail Summary Window, associated button is highlighted.
Access to the User Selected Mails list is disabled upon startup and the associated Button gray out. It
can be enabled by the user to perform simple list auditing if desired by selecting View->User
Selected Mail List to enable/disable.
When User Selected Mails list is enabled, additional mail menu options will also be enabled such as
Copy Selected Mails to User Selected Mails.
Content of the User Selected Mails list is controlled by the user. User can merge search results with
the content of the User Selected List.
User can run the search multiples time and merge results multiple times with the User Selected List.
Search results can be pruned before merging.
In addition, user has an option to select/highlight one or more mails in the Summary Mail Window
and copy to the User Selected Mails list.
Standard Windows method is used to select and highlight multiple mails, i.e. Shift+Left Click and
CTRL+Left Click.
Merging/copying process will not create duplicate mails in the User Selected List.
User can select and highlight one or more mails in the Summary Mail Window and remove from the
active list. Mails can't be removed from the All Mails list.
All Mails list content persists until new mail archive is selected.
Find Mails list content persists until new search or when All Mails list is invalidated.
User Selected Mails list content persists until cleared by the user or when All Mails list is
invalidated.

6.16.1

Mail List Archiving

Find Mails list and User Selected Mails list content can be saved to new mbox archive files.
Archive file will be created in the same folder as the All Mails main archive.
Archive file created from the Find Mails list will be created by appending _FIND suffix to the base
name of the main archive file name.
The _USER suffix will be appended when creating archive file from the User Selected Mails list.
23

For example, if the main mbox archive file from gmail is called "All mail Including Spam and
Trash.11.09.2018.mbox", then created archive file will be named "All mail Including Spam and
Trash.11.09.2018_USER.mbox."
When creating archive file for User Selected Mails list, the mbox viewer will also create file with
the list of all mails for that archive, for example "All mail Including Spam and
Trash.11.09.2018_USER.mbox.mboxlist."
The mail list file allows user to reload the last archived mail list into the User Select Mails. Reload
can be requested at any time including after restart of the mbox viewer.
After mbox viewer is restarted or when User Selected Mails List is empty, User Selected Mails list
can be restored when All Mails list is active.
When User Selected Mails list is active, it can be reloaded when List is not empty.
