Common questions

Where is the MBOX in Google Takeout?

A Gmail export commonly contains one or more .mbox files inside the downloaded archive.

Do labels become folders?

This viewer focuses on messages and their headers. Gmail-specific label metadata may appear in message headers rather than as separate folders.
