How to Import Your Backupify ZIP into Microsoft Outlook Easily

“Hello, my name is Cristian Harold. I used Backupify cloud backup services to backup my Gmail accounts last year. Now I have exported my emails from Backupify as .zip file and I want to import this .zip file into Outlook 2016. The Microsoft Outlook is not providing any option to import my Backupify .zip file into Outlook directly. So, I want to know, is it possible to import exported Backupify file ? If Yes, then please help me out. Thanks in Advance!”

As we can clearly understand from the above query, Backupify provides an option to backup our cloud mails on the web. The Backupify allows us to export and save our data in the .zip file type. After extracting this .zip file you will get the email messages in a .mbox file. It means that Backupify will save all your cloud emails into the .mbox file type.

We also know Microsoft Outlook only supports .pst file type for import. So, due to different file types, you can not import Backupify .zip file into Outlook directly. But for this, you have to first convert Backupify to PST (Outlook supported data file type). So, here in this write-up, I am going to explain to you the easiest way to import your backupify .zip into Microsoft Outlook.

Steps to Import Backupify ZIP into Outlook

From the above discussion, we can easily understand that importing Backupify .zip files into Microsoft Outlook is a two-step process. In the first step, you have to export the .zip file into Outlook supported .pst file, and in the second step import the same .pst into Outlook. Here in this post, I am going to explain both the steps in detail. Follow the steps:

1. Convert Backupify ZIP File to PST File Type
2. Import the PST File into Microsoft Outlook

Step 1: – Convert Backupify ZIP to PST File Format

• After browsing the .mbox file, the software will provide a preview of all emails along with the attachment. You can view Message Header, Hex, MIME, HTML, RTF etc. here. Now, click on Export button from the menu bar as highlighted in the screen.

• After that, the Export Options windows will appear. Here, you can select any one file type from PST, NSF, MSG, and EML. But, in your case, select the PST file type. Because you want to import backupify .zip files into Outlook.
• Apart from this, the software also enables you to split the PST file according to your PST file size requirement. Check the checkbox, if this feature required.
• Browse the location to save the .pst file after conversion. After doing all this simply click on Export button to start the conversion process.
