What is ICS File Format?
The ICS (iCalendar) file format is a widely used standard for storing and exchanging calendar and scheduling information, including events, tasks, appointments, and reminders. The ICS file format uses a human-readable text-based structure that contains details such as event title, description, location, start and end times, and participant information, allowing users to easily share and import calendar data across different platforms and applications.
What is MBOX File Format?
The MBOX file format is a standard format for storing and organizing email messages in a concatenated format within a single file.
