MBOX 파일이란 무엇인가요?

An MBOX file is an email mailbox, saved in a mail storage format that lists an entire inbox's messages in a single text file. It saves messages in a concatenated format where each message is listed after another, starting with the From header. MBOX files were originally used only by Unix hosts, but other email applications, including Apple Mail and Mozilla Thunderbird, now also support them.

Version 1.x of Apple Mail used MBOX files and stored them in the /User/Library/Mail/Mailboxes/ directory. Mail 2.0 and later versions use the .EMLX format, which separates messages into individual files so they can be searched by Spotlight.

However, Apple Mail still exports mailboxes as MBOX files. If you right-click a mailbox and select Export Mailbox..., Apple Mail will save that mailbox's contents as an MBOX file.

참고: Opera Mail, which was discontinued in 2016, also stored messages in the MBOX format.
