Steps to Convert MBOX to ICS via Java
Java programmers can easily convert MBOX file to ICS in just a few lines of code.
- Load the mbox file using MboxStorageReader.createReader() method.
- Create the output directory if it doesn’t exist using new File(outputDirectory).mkdirs().
- Iterate through the mbox messages by enumerating MailMessage objects with the enumerateMessages() method.
- Generate a file path for each message in the output directory.
- Search for a calendar view in the message using getAlternateViewContent method of the MailMessage class.
- If a calendar view is found, write its content to the .ics file with the specified file path using FileWriter.
System Requirements
Before running the Java conversion code, make sure that you have the following prerequisites.
- Microsoft Windows or a compatible OS with Java Runtime Environment for JSP/JSF Application and Desktop Applications.

Convert MBOX to ICS - Java
// Load mbox file
MboxStorageReader mbox = MboxStorageReader.createReader(mboxFilePath, new MboxLoadOptions());
// Ensure the output directory exists
new File(outputDirectory).mkdirs();
// Iterate through mbox messages and save them as .ics files
int count = 1;
// Enumerate through mbox messages
Iterable<MailMessage> messages = mbox.enumerateMessages();
for (MailMessage message : messages) {
// Generate ics file path
String icsFilePath = outputDirectory + "Message" + count + ".ics";
// Search a calendar view and save it as .ics file
String icsContent = message.getAlternateViewContent("text/calendar");
if (icsContent != null) {
// Write ics content to file
FileWriter writer = new FileWriter(icsFilePath);
writer.write(icsContent);
writer.close();
System.out.println("Message " + count + " saved as: " + icsFilePath);
}
count++;
