Sparrow is an email client platform originally designed for Mac and iOS (iPhone OS) systems, and later, it was devised for Windows systems as well. Soon after the first arrival, Sparrow was acquired by Google, and further development of this platform was discontinued. Thus, the platform never received any upgrades since then. If we talk about the GUI, it does not include any fancy interface that may lure to use it. A user can go through the threads of communication without facing any technical issue. To view the concerned email, just select it and have a preview in a new window pane. On the other hand, if the user has multiple email accounts, then they can be accessed through multiple accounts switching feature.
However, with more use of advanced platforms like MS Outlook, Sparrow users are also migrating to Outlook at a good pace. Moreover, Outlook has always been keeping high standards in terms of security and features, gaining recommendations all over the globe. Users willing to migrate files from Sparrow mailbox to Outlook require assistance from an external utility such as Kernel for MBOX to PST.
To initiate the migration from Sparrow to PST (Outlook) via Kernel for MBOX to PST, follow the given instructions carefully:
- Launch Kernel for MBOX to PST software on your system.
- Click on the Browse button to locate a Sparrow MBOX folder. You can choose to select either an individual MBOX file or an entire folder containing the required MBOX files.
Note: Either select the folder or file option to proceed with adding folder or file. - Select the folder, click OK and then click the Finish button.
- The next window includes the preview of the mailbox data associated with the selected MBOX files. The left panel includes the mailbox folder whereas the right panel shows the mail content. Click on the Save button to proceed further in the process.
- Apply filters to save specific data; you can sort the data on the basis of the destination address, receiver address, subject, date range, etc. Click Next once done.
- Manage your converted PST by using the Split option. Split function allows you to break the PST in two predefined proportions. Also, you can add a prefix to the file name of the converted PST to make it look unique. Both are optional, if you don’t require making these changes, click Next anyways.
- Browse to provide a destination path to save the converted file and click Finish.
- Finally, your converted PST gets saved to the specified location. Click OK to finish the process.
