New features, improvements and fixes in Mbox Viewer for macOS.https://mboxviewerpro.com/enhttps://mboxviewerpro.com/changelog/#v2-8-6-machttps://mboxviewerpro.com/changelog/#v2-8-6-mac• Gmail keeps the hierarchy inside the label name — Work/Clients/Acme is one label, not three — so the sidebar listed every path flat and a mailbox with a real label tree turned into a wall of near-identical rows. They now fold into a tree: each row shows only its last part, with the full path on hover, and the branch holding the label you are filtering by opens on its own. A rung no message actually carries (Work/Clients when only Work/Clients/Acme exists) is drawn greyed and without a count — it groups and unfolds, as in Gmail, but it does not filter by a label nobody has. If no label contains a slash, the sidebar looks exactly as before. • The annual subscription is on sale again, next to the lifetime licence. The upgrade screen shows both cards and you choose: pay once, or pay yearly. Either unlocks the same thing, and nothing changes for anyone who already bought the lifetime licence. The subscription card is only drawn when the store hands the app a real price for it, so where it is not on sale the screen is the one you already know. The free tier still opens mailboxes up to 1 GB with every feature. • Settings › General › Privacy can now forget which files have been opened. The app keeps a bookmark per opened mailbox so it can reach the file again after a restart, and those bookmarks are keyed by full path — together they are a list of the mailboxes you have opened. A third button drops them all; nothing breaks, because the next time you open a file its bookmark is created again. The section also spells out now that everything it lists stays on this Mac and that clearing cannot be undone. And clearing the search history finally clears it: every open window kept its own copy in memory and wrote it back on the next search, so what you had just cleared came straight back. • Every link the app opens now points at mboxviewerpro.com — the website in About and Help, the privacy policy, and the App Store listing's marketing, support and privacy URLs — and it opens the page in your own language instead of sending everyone to the English one. On the way, a real bug: the privacy policy link opened a 404 in Spanish, French, German and Portuguese, because the app built the URL as /es/privacy/ while the site translates the address too (/es/privacidad/, /fr/confidentialite/, /de/datenschutz/). Those four now reach the real page, and Polish was added alongside them. (Version 2.8.5 was Windows-only, which is why the Mac line jumps from 2.8.4 to 2.8.6: from here on the same number means the same thing on both platforms.)Mon, 07 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://mboxviewerpro.com/changelog/#v2-8-4-machttps://mboxviewerpro.com/changelog/#v2-8-4-mac• Export your selection as a new MBOX. Pick the messages that matter — by search, by Gmail label or by hand — and the app writes them into a brand-new mailbox that contains only those. It is the delivery step of a legal hold or a public-records request: narrow a huge archive down to what actually has to be handed over, and produce a file with exactly that in it. The original archive is never modified. • The free plan goes from 500 MB to 1 GB. Same app, same features, no time limit — just twice the room before you need Pro. • And there is now a separate edition for schools, universities and organizations: Mbox Viewer Pro for Education, the same app with everything unlocked permanently, bought by the seat in Apple School Manager or Apple Business Manager and deployed by MDM — no in-app purchases, no licence keys, no accounts and nothing that expires. → https://mboxviewerpro.com/education/Sun, 23 Aug 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://mboxviewerpro.com/changelog/#v2-8-3-machttps://mboxviewerpro.com/changelog/#v2-8-3-mac• The app can now ask for an App Store review — quietly, and only after it has earned it. The system prompt appears once you have finished at least three real jobs (an export, a repaired mailbox or a merge), never in the first three days after installing, at most once per version and no more often than every 120 days. It waits for a moment when the window is in front and no sheet is open, so it never lands on top of the dialog that just finished. • Help → Rate Mbox Viewer Pro… opens the store listing whenever you feel like leaving a review, without waiting to be asked. Mac App Store version only: outside the store the app neither counts anything nor shows anything.Thu, 20 Aug 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://mboxviewerpro.com/changelog/#v2-8-2-machttps://mboxviewerpro.com/changelog/#v2-8-2-mac• Merging Apple Mail mailboxes tagged every message with the same origin. Apple Mail's "Export Mailbox…" writes a folder named "Inbox.mbox" containing a file called literally "mbox", so the optional X-Mbox-Source header recorded "mbox" for all of them — losing the whole point of the option, which is knowing which archive an email came from. Merged messages now carry the name you recognize, and mailboxes that would share a name are told apart by their folder. • Merging no longer requires opening a mailbox first. It is now an app-level action with its own window, available from File → Merge MBOX Files… and from a button on the welcome screen. If a mailbox is already open, it starts out in the list. • The merge window is far more usable: the list scrolls instead of pushing the window off-screen, shows each mailbox's size and a total, accepts mailboxes dropped onto it, and reports real progress while it works ("Merging 2 of 5 — Inbox.mbox"). When it finishes it tells you how it went in your own language and offers Show in Finder, Open Merged Mailbox and Close. • The toolbar explains itself. Conversation threading no longer shares an icon with Search Filters — it now uses the conversation bubbles Mail.app uses for the same thing — and the six icon-only view segments (Text, Full Headers, Properties, MIME, Raw, Hex) name themselves on hover, shortcut included: "Full Headers (⌘2)". • Menu items that need an open mailbox — File → Export, the View and Message commands, Search Filters — are greyed out with none open, instead of looking available and being silently ignored when clicked.Fri, 07 Aug 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://mboxviewerpro.com/changelog/#v2-8-1-machttps://mboxviewerpro.com/changelog/#v2-8-1-mac• The search field no longer vanishes from the toolbar while you type. At certain window widths, entering a query could push it out of view with no way to bring it back until you resized the window. It now keeps a fixed width; the match count is still shown in the status bar. • ⌘F now always leads somewhere: if the search field can't be focused, it opens the Search Filters panel instead of doing nothing.Fri, 17 Jul 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://mboxviewerpro.com/changelog/#v2-8-0-machttps://mboxviewerpro.com/changelog/#v2-8-0-mac• Export any message to PDF. The exported PDF keeps the same layout as printing, in a self-contained multi-page file. Exporting one message is free; batch PDF export (several at once) is a Pro feature. • Export any message to a self-contained HTML file — headers, body with inline images embedded, and attachments included as downloadable links — so it opens anywhere with no external references. Single-message export is free; batch export is Pro. • New attachments pane: a gallery that lists every attachment with a per-type icon, its content type and size, image preview and one-click save — including “Save all” to a folder. • Three new ways to inspect a message, alongside Text and Headers: a Properties view (all addresses, dates and threading identifiers, selectable and copyable), a MIME structure view (the message's part tree with content types, encoding, charset and sizes) and a Hex view (an offset · hex · ASCII dump of the raw message) — ideal for technical or forensic inspection. • Repair damaged mailboxes (Pro). When a mailbox opens empty or as one giant message, its “From ” separators were probably lost; a deep-scan recovery re-detects the message boundaries. You can rebuild the view in place or export a brand-new, repaired .mbox copy — and the original file is never modified (the app stays strictly read-only). • Merge mailboxes with full traceability: a new option adds an “X-Mbox-Source” header to each merged message with its origin file name, so a combined archive still shows which mailbox every email came from. Off by default, and it works with or without duplicate removal.Mon, 13 Jul 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://mboxviewerpro.com/changelog/#v2-7-1-machttps://mboxviewerpro.com/changelog/#v2-7-1-mac• The “Merge Mailboxes” picker no longer greys out your mailboxes: you can now select any recognizable mailbox — including extensionless Thunderbird mailboxes (INBOX, Sent…), .mbs/.mbx archives, files on a NAS, and Apple Mail “Name.mbox” export folders. • Merging up to 1 GB of combined mailboxes is free; larger merges are now a Pro feature, shown with a clear notice and an upgrade option.Sat, 04 Jul 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://mboxviewerpro.com/changelog/#v2-7-0-machttps://mboxviewerpro.com/changelog/#v2-7-0-mac• Faster on large mailboxes: quicker searching, lower memory use, and no more UI freezes when opening very large messages or exporting. • More private: remote images (tracking pixels) are blocked more thoroughly, temporary files are cleaned up automatically, and new Settings let you clear your search history and index cache. • More accessible: full VoiceOver and keyboard support, adjustable message text size and font, better contrast, and the in-app language picker now lists all 18 languages. • More robust: handles malformed or oversized MBOX/EML files gracefully instead of freezing or crashing, and export/merge failures are now clearly reported. • HTML messages now show the sender header and quick actions (Export, Print, Share) at the top, just like plain-text messages.Fri, 03 Jul 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://mboxviewerpro.com/changelog/#v2-6-5-machttps://mboxviewerpro.com/changelog/#v2-6-5-mac• New Full Headers view: see the complete header block (From, To, Cc, Date, Message-ID, Reply-To and more) in a clean, read-only pane. Pick it from the toolbar (Text / Headers / Raw) or from View → Full Headers (⌘2). Thanks to Verender Badial for the suggestion. • Eight new languages — Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Turkish, Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, Russian and European Portuguese — bringing the app to 18 languages.Thu, 18 Jun 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://mboxviewerpro.com/changelog/#v2-6-0-machttps://mboxviewerpro.com/changelog/#v2-6-0-mac• Apple Mail export folders (.mbox packages) now open directly — no need to dig out the inner “mbox” file. • Mailbox files without an extension — like Thunderbird's INBOX or Sent — open directly, no renaming to .mbox required.Tue, 16 Jun 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://mboxviewerpro.com/changelog/#v2-5-0-machttps://mboxviewerpro.com/changelog/#v2-5-0-mac• Email HTML is now sanitized before display — scripts, iframes and other active content are stripped, on top of the existing remote-image blocking. • Free-text search now looks inside message bodies too, not just subject and sender — so a plain word finds everything. • Hardened parsing of very large files so a message split across read buffers can never inflate the message count.Mon, 15 Jun 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://mboxviewerpro.com/changelog/#v2-4-1-machttps://mboxviewerpro.com/changelog/#v2-4-1-mac• The About window now always shows the real installed version. • Added a «Redeem Code» button so you can use Mac App Store promo codes for the Pro upgrade.Tue, 02 Jun 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://mboxviewerpro.com/changelog/#v2-4-0-machttps://mboxviewerpro.com/changelog/#v2-4-0-mac• Streamlined the App Store edition to a single lifetime Pro unlock.
