A .MBS file is a Opera Mailbox File, created by Opera Software.

Open with Opera. Available for Linux, Windows, and Mac.

What is a .MBS file?

The file extension .MBS refers to an Opera Mailbox File. This type of file is used by Opera Mail, which is an email management feature integrated within the Opera Web browser. An .MBS file contains a collection of email messages that belong to a specific email folder. For example, it could be your inbox, your drafts folder, or your sent messages folder. The format of .MBS files is quite similar to the format used for mail folders in Mozilla Thunderbird, another popular email client.

To open an .MBS file, you can use the Opera browser itself since Opera Mail is a part of it. There are also other programs like Aryson MBOX Viewer that can open these files. These programs allow you to view the contents of the mailbox files without needing to use Opera Mail.

Additionally, there are tools available to convert .MBS files into other formats. For instance, the Aid4Mail utility can transform .MBS files into various other mailbox formats, including the standard .MBX files and formats compatible with Microsoft Outlook, Windows Live Mail, and Mozilla Thunderbird. Another tool, ABC Amber Opera Converter, can convert .MBS files into more universally readable formats such as .TXT (plain text), .PDF (Portable Document Format), .RTF (Rich Text Format), .HTML (HyperText Markup Language), and .DOC (Microsoft Word document).

For those using older versions of Opera (version 7.x), the MBS2MBX tool can convert .MBS files into .MBX files, which are another type of mailbox file. However, it's important to note that this particular conversion might not perfectly translate all messages.

In summary, .MBS files are used by Opera Mail to store emails. They can be opened directly using Opera, or viewed and converted into other formats using specific software tools designed for handling .MBS files.
