Why to Convert MBOX to DOC?

MBOX is a popular file format used to store emails. It is widely used by many email clients such as Mozilla Thunderbird, Apple Mail, Eudora, etc. However, MBOX files are not compatible with Microsoft Word, which is the most popular word processing application. Therefore, it is necessary to convert MBOX files to DOC format in order to open and edit them in Microsoft Word.
