  • What worked for me was I installed and ran Thunderbird, then I quit and copied the Google Takeout .mbox file to ~/.thunderbird/xxxxxx.default-esr/Mail/Local Folders. When I re-launched Thunderbird, it took a few minutes and then all my Google Takeout emails were browsable/searchable under Local Folders.

    Also, I think there was a weird step involved, like I needed Thunderbird to connect to some email account, any email account, in order to get past the welcome screen.

    A friend of mine once downloaded something malicious to his Linux machine and wasn’t worried about it. Then some time later, while browsing his files from a Windows machine, saw it and was like, “hey, what’s this?” Oops.

    He’s a tech savvy guy, so I’m guessing the fact he had downloaded it himself really let his guard down.
