What Gets Preserved
Every piece of information in your ArcMail Defender export is carried through to the output format without loss.
Key Features
Every feature is designed around how ArcMail Defender structures its archive exports.
Chunked ZIP Archive Handling
ArcMail Defender delivers large exports as multiple chunked ZIP files (e.g., export_part1.zip, export_part2.zip). The converter loads all chunks at once and merges them into a single unified output automatically. No manual chunk extraction or reassembly required.
Original Folder Structure Preserved
ArcMail exports preserve the original mailbox folder hierarchy inside the ZIP. The converter reads the EML sub-folder structure and recreates Inbox, Sent Items, Drafts, Deleted Items and all custom folders exactly in the output format, whether PST, MBOX or EML.
Export Summary File Integration
ArcMail includes an export summary CSV or TXT file listing every message in the export. The converter reads this summary and cross-references it with the converted output to confirm completeness. Any messages listed in the summary but absent from the output are flagged for investigation.
Batch Multi-User Conversion
Load all per-user ZIP archives exported from ArcMail at once. Converts every user's archive in a single pass producing one PST, MBOX or other output file per user. Scales from small SMB deployments to mid-market organisations with hundreds of mailboxes.
EML to PST Conversion
ArcMail EML files cannot be opened directly in Outlook. The converter converts ArcMail EML exports to fully importable PST files with all messages, attachments, headers and folder structure preserved. No Outlook installation required on the conversion machine.
100% Offline Processing
Runs entirely on your Windows PC after downloading the ArcMail export. No ArcMail appliance connection, no admin portal login and no internet access required. All conversion is local. Email data never leaves the secure conversion environment.
Full Header Preservation
All RFC 5322 email headers survive conversion: standard headers, ArcMail-added X-headers, original routing headers from the source mail server and anti-spam results. Preserved for legal admissibility and forensic investigations.
Preview with Folder Navigation
Browse the full folder tree of any ArcMail export before converting. Navigate Inbox, Sent, custom folders. Apply date range or sender filters. Verify message counts per folder before committing to conversion.
M365 Import Ready
PST output imports directly into Microsoft 365 via the M365 Import Service (network upload or drive shipping). Per-user PST files map to per-user M365 mailboxes for seamless ArcMail-to-M365 migration.
Google Workspace Ready
MBOX output imports directly into Google Workspace using Google's migration tools or BitTitan, AvePoint and similar tools. ArcMail folder labels preserved in MBOX output for correct label assignment in Google Workspace.
Conversion Report
Generates a detailed report after every conversion listing messages processed per user, export summary match status, attachment counts and any chunk-merge errors. Provides the documentation trail for ArcMail decommissioning projects.
No ArcMail Appliance Required
No ArcMail Defender appliance, admin portal login or ArcMail client software needed on the conversion machine. Reads ArcMail ZIP export files as standalone archives. The ArcMail appliance can be offline or decommissioned before conversion.
Complete Preservation
All message metadata, headers and structural information carried intact from ArcMail Defender to your target format.

Customer Reviews
Verified reviews from IT administrators and compliance professionals.
Migrated 120 ArcMail users to Microsoft 365 in a weekend. The chunked ZIP loading was seamless — loaded all parts at once, single PST per user output, straight into the M365 Import Service. Saved a full day of manual work compared to doing it EML by EML.
Our ArcMail appliance was approaching end of life and held 6 years of archives. The export summary cross-reference confirmed zero missing messages before we powered down the appliance. Folder structure came through perfectly in Outlook.
Used it for a GDPR data subject access request covering 4 years of archived email. PDF output with complete headers. The data protection officer approved the response on first review.

Common questions about converting ArcMail Defender email archive exports.
ArcMail Defender's primary export format: EML+ZIP — EML files packaged in ZIP archives, one per user, preserving the original mailbox folder hierarchy in sub-directories. For large mailboxes ArcMail delivers the export in multiple chunked ZIP files (export_part1.zip, export_part2.zip, etc.). The converter loads all chunks simultaneously and merges them automatically. It also reads the export summary file included in the download to cross-reference completeness.
Automatically. ArcMail delivers large exports in multiple ZIP chunks to keep individual file sizes manageable. The converter detects all ZIP parts in the selected folder, reads them simultaneously and merges the content into a single unified output — one PST, one MBOX or one folder of EML files per user. No manual extraction, no file renaming and no chunk reassembly required.
Yes — this is the most common ArcMail migration request. ArcMail EML exports cannot be opened directly in Outlook. The converter converts ArcMail EML ZIP archives to fully importable PST files with all messages, folder structure and headers preserved. PST files upload directly to M365 via the Import Service (network upload or drive shipping). One PST per user maps to one M365 mailbox.
Yes, completely standalone. Once you have downloaded the ZIP exports from the ArcMail admin portal, no ArcMail Defender appliance, admin portal login or ArcMail client software is needed. Conversion runs entirely on your Windows machine. This is particularly important for end-of-life appliance migrations where the ArcMail hardware may be retired during the migration project.
Yes. ArcMail exports preserve the original mailbox folder hierarchy inside the ZIP — Inbox, Sent Items, Drafts, Deleted Items and all custom folders. The converter reads this sub-folder structure and recreates it exactly in the output. In PST output, users find their archived emails in the correct Outlook folders. In MBOX output, folder names are preserved as labels for Google Workspace import.
ArcMail includes a summary file (CSV or TXT) in every export listing every message with its sender, recipient, date, subject and size. Univik ArcMail Defender Converter reads this summary and cross-references it with the converted output. Any message listed in the summary but absent from the output is flagged in the conversion report. This completeness verification is essential before decommissioning the ArcMail appliance.
Yes. Convert ArcMail EML ZIP archives to MBOX format. MBOX output imports directly into Google Workspace using Google's migration tools or third-party tools like BitTitan. One MBOX per user ZIP maps to one Google Workspace mailbox. ArcMail folder names are preserved as MBOX labels for Google Workspace import.
