Yes, there are several ways to import MBOX files into a Gmail account in bulk. I'll outline two methods here:
Method 1: Using the Google Takeout service
1. Visit the Google Takeout website (takeout.google.com) and sign in to your Google account.
2. Once signed in, you'll see a list of Google services you can export data from. Scroll down and click on "Deselect all."
3. Find and enable the option for "Mail," which should be listed under the "Select data to include" section.
4. Click on the "All Mail data included" link and you'll see a pop-up window. You can choose to export all your data or customize your selection by selecting specific labels or folders.
5. Scroll down and click on the "Next" button at the bottom of the page.
6. On the next page, you can choose the delivery method for your exported data. Select "Send download link via email" and choose the frequency (once, every two months, or once every week) depending on your preference.
7. Finally, click on the "Create export" button and Google will start preparing your data for export. Depending on the size of your MBOX files, this process may take some time.
8. Once your data is ready, you'll receive an email from Google with a download link. Click on the link to download the ZIP file containing your MBOX data.
9. Extract the ZIP file and you'll find individual MBOX files. To import them into Gmail, you can use the "Import" feature in the Gmail settings (Settings > Accounts and Import > Import mail and contacts). Follow the prompts to select the MBOX files and complete the import process.
Method 2: Using a third-party software
Alternatively, you can use third-party software specifically designed for importing MBOX files into Gmail. One such tool is "MailsDaddy MBOX to Gmail Migration Tool." Here's how you can use it:
1. Download and install the MailsDaddy MBOX to Gmail Migration Tool on your computer.
2. Launch the software and click on the "Add File" button to locate and select the MBOX files you want to import into Gmail.
3. After adding the files, the software will display a preview of the MBOX file content. You can also use the various filtering options provided to refine your selection.
4. Click on the "Export" button to start the migration process. The software will ask you to sign in to your Gmail account.
5. Once signed in, you'll be prompted to choose the destination folder in your Gmail account where you want to import the MBOX files.
6. Proceed with the migration process, and the software will transfer the MBOX files to your Gmail account.
Both methods mentioned above will help you import MBOX files into your Gmail account in bulk. Just make sure to take necessary precautions to keep your MBOX files safe and secure during the import process.

Thank you for contributing another valuable method for MBOX file management! Both methods you mentioned—Google Takeout and third-party tools like the SysTools Gmail Backup Tool—are highly recognized for their effectiveness in importing MBOX to Gmail in bulk. Let’s break them down:

1. Google Takeout (Manual Process):​

• Google Takeout allows users to export and import MBOX files back to Gmail, though its abilities are somewhat limited:
  • It's slower for large datasets.
  • There's a limit to export attempts, so repetitive transfers might become a hassle.
• It’s a free method, making it the go-to solution for smaller imports.

2. SysTools Gmail Backup Tool (Automated):​

• This tool excels in handling bulk imports effortlessly and is specifically tailored for accuracy.
• Key features include:
  • Uploading MBOX files to Gmail accounts without corrupting data.
  • Maintaining attachments and folder structure.
  • Avoiding Google's export/import limitations.
• It’s ideal for users and organizations needing reliable, frequent imports or more advanced control over the process.

If bulk import is part of a larger migration effort (e.g., moving from one ecosystem to another), automated tools like SysTools are often worth the investment.
If you'd like additional guidance about using either method or comparison between others, feel free to ask!
