Q – I am using Thunderbird. One week ago, when I tried to open MBOX file in it. It denies opening with an error message ‘no access to Thunderbird’. I have my crucial data in Thunderbird client. Is there anyone who can help me to access my emails contained in Mozilla Thunderbird?

I read your query. The first step you need to perform is to run your Thunderbird client in a safe mode. Hopefully, this will help you to access your emails.

You can go for MBOX Viewer Third-party application that can help you to view all emails and attachments in a safe manner.
