If you have MBOX files and want to move the emails to Office 365, the main thing to consider is whether you want to handle the migration manually or use a dedicated MBOX migration tool.
The manual approach can work for a small mailbox, but it may become time-consuming when you have multiple MBOX files, attachments, or a large number of messages. You may also need to use an intermediate email client and then synchronize the data with Office 365.
For a more direct approach, the MacSonik MBOX Converter Tool can be considered. It is designed for users who need to convert or migrate MBOX mailbox data without relying completely on the original email application. You can add MBOX files, preview the available emails, select the required mailbox data, and proceed with the appropriate Office 365 migration option.
This type of workflow is especially useful when you're dealing with multiple MBOX files or want more control over the migration. Before starting, I would recommend taking a backup of the original MBOX files and checking a small sample of migrated emails for attachments, dates, sender/recipient information, and folder organization.
For a large migration, features such as bulk processing, selective migration, duplicate handling, date-based filtering, and large-file support can make the process considerably easier than manually moving individual messages.
So, if your requirement is specifically MBOX to Office 365 migration, a dedicated converter such as MacSonik can be a practical alternative to the multi-step Thunderbird/Outlook method.
