### 5/5 — Intuitive Full Feature MBox tool

*2026-08-11*

My need:  I’m going to close a six year old Gmail account with 12,000 messages organized with an extensive folder hierarchy.  After I close the account, I need to be sure I can find any message if necessary in the future.   My requirements:  an App that stores nothing on Gmail or any other server, respects my folder organization, and provides effective search.  I looked at several in the MacOS App Store.  Only MBox Reader from Rush Tools delivered what I’m looking for with an intuitive UI and good performance.  The developer is responsive to feature suggestions.

**Developer response:** Hi,

Thank you for your invaluable feedback during this process. It was a true pleasure collaborating to make the tool even better for the entire community. 

Best regards,
