What is msf file?
File type category:
Email related data file
Date updated: November 21, 2023
File extension msf is associated with Mozila Thunderbird. Thunderbird's mail files are in the standard plain text "mbox" format, which almost all mail programs can use or import.
Many proprietary mail programs have a function to import from Eudora, which also uses the "mbox" format; this function should read your Mozilla mail files properly.
Your mail files are inside your profile (see the Profile Folder), in the Mail and (if you use IMAP) ImapMail folders.
Each mail folder (Inbox, Sent, etc.) is stored as two files — one with no extension (e.g. INBOX), which is the mail file itself (in "mbox" format), and one with an msf file extension (e.g. INBOX.msf), which is the index (Mail Summary File) to the mail file. Tell the other program to import mail from the file with no extension.
