Quick Guide: Import MBOX to Yandex Webmail

Why Transfer MBOX to Yandex Webmail?

• Yandex Webmail lets you open your emails from any device with internet access, without depending on local software.
• Keep all your old MBOX emails neatly arranged with Yandex’s folder and label features.
• Yandex offers security for login and spam filtering to protect your imported messages.
• Use your imported emails alongside new ones without switching between different apps.
• If your old email client stops working, you’ll still have all your messages safe in Yandex.
• Works on Windows, Mac, Linux, and mobile browsers without special settings.
• There are no extra software costs if you already have a Yandex account.

Method 1: Import MBOX Files to Yandex Webmail Using an Email Client

Yandex doesn’t let you import MBOX files directly. You can make use of a free email client, such as Mozilla Thunderbird, to assist with the process. Thunderbird is a middleman that can open your MBOX files and import them to Yandex Webmail.

Make sure you have all the following ready:

• Firstly, Mozilla Thunderbird should be installed on your computer.
• Turn on IMAP and set up your Yandex Mail account.
• Similarly, check the MBOX files that need to be imported.

Here’s what to do for MBOX Import to Yandex Mail:

1. Firstly, go to your Yandex Mail settings and turn on IMAP.
2. Add your Yandex account to Thunderbird using the IMAP settings. 
3. Similarly, install the ImportExportTools NG add-on in Thunderbird.
4. Use it to import the MBOX file into Local Folders in Thunderbird.
5. When the import process is completed.
6. Simply drag and drop the required emails or folders from Local Folders into your Yandex account.
7. Lastly, let Thunderbird complete the migration process.

Limitations for the basic method:

• It is too slow for importing when the data is too big.
• The user should have the credentials for the Yandex account.
• Users have to manually transfer every file one by one.
• If any step is missed, there is a chance of data loss.
