    Hey, I think both above-discussed methods are more complex and lengthy, If you still get ” No valid MBOX file found” issues after following method. I think there are some corruption issues in your MBOX file. To resolve corruption issues Mbox file, you can convert MBOX file to another format to view messages information, try this MBOX Converter to fix Mbox file issues.
