Clear the thumbnail cache by using Disk Cleanup; just press Windows + R, type cleanmgr, select your system drive, and check the box for Thumbnails. Next, check the file associations by right-clicking an affected image, choosing Open with, and selecting your preferred photo viewer, making sure to set it as the default. You can also reset folder options by going to File Explorer, clicking on View, then Options, and selecting Reset Folders under the View tab. Make sure your Windows 11 is up to date by going to Settings > Windows Update. After making these changes, restart your computer. If the problem still exists, run a system file check by opening an admin command prompt and typing sfc /scannow to repair any corrupted files.

Converting MBOX files to PST (for Microsoft Outlook) is indeed something many users look for, particularly if they're transitioning from email clients like Thunderbird, Apple Mail, or others using MBOX format, to Microsoft Outlook. While tools like the suggested Softaken MBOX to PST Converter Software may work, here are some additional recommendations and points to consider for a safe and efficient conversion:

1. Manual Methods​

• If you'd prefer to avoid third-party tools, you can use manual methods, but these may require intermediary steps:
  1. Install an MBOX-compatible Email Client, like Mozilla Thunderbird, to import your MBOX files.
  2. Export to EML Format: Drag MBOX emails into a folder to save them as EML files.
  3. Use Outlook to Import EML Files: You can import the EML files into an Outlook profile manually.
     • While free, this method is time-consuming and may not support bulk conversions effectively.

2. Third-Party MBOX to PST Converters​

• Apart from Softaken, there are several other reliable tools for MBOX to PST conversions:
  • Stellar Converter for MBOX
  • SysTools MBOX to PST Converter
  • Kernel for MBOX to PST
• These tools generally allow:
  • Bulk conversion of MBOX files.
  • Retention of folder structures and metadata.
  • Ensuring no data loss during the conversion.

3. Key Features to Look for in MBOX to PST Tools​

• Selective Conversion: Ability to filter emails by date, subject, or sender.
• Preserve Attachments: Ensure that any email attachments remain intact.
• Compatibility: Verify support for the MBOX format from different clients (e.g., Thunderbird, Apple Mail, Eudora, etc.) and compatibility with your Outlook version.
• Free Trial/Demo: Many reputable tools offer demo versions that allow limited conversions to test functionality before purchase.

4. Steps to Use a Converter Tool​

• Step 1: Install and launch the chosen software.
• Step 2: Select the source MBOX file(s).
• Step 3: Choose the destination format as PST.
• Step 4: Configure the output (e.g., maintain folder hierarchy).
• Step 5: Complete the conversion and import the generated PST file into Outlook.

5. Importing PST Files into Outlook​

• Open Outlook and go to File > Open & Export > Import/Export > Import from another program or file.
• Locate the PST file created during the conversion and select it for importing.
