Yes, it is possible to import MBOX files into MDaemon without losing data, but the method you choose matters. Since direct MBOX upload isn’t supported, I’ve personally used Mozilla Thunderbird as a bridge—and it works quite well for small batches.
In my experience, opening the MBOX file in Thunderbird and syncing it with an MDaemon account via IMAP allowed me to move emails without losing basic metadata such as subject, sender, and timestamps. However, when I tried this with a larger mailbox, I noticed it became slow, and a few attachments didn’t sync properly.
That’s where a more structured approach helped. Using the BLR MBOX Converter Tool, I was able to transfer bulk emails more smoothly, and everything—from formatting to attachments—remained intact.
I’ve also found that having an mbox to pst converter is useful when you need flexibility across different platforms.
So yes, data-safe migration is possible—manual methods work, but for larger data, a dedicated tool makes a noticeable difference.
