Barr-Cyber Mailbox Viewer
Offline MBOX Viewer — Also Included in Forensic G-Suite
Convert a Google Takeout .mbox export into a standalone, offline, read-only HTML viewer. Double-click index.html to open it. No server. No network connection. No installation beyond running the builder once.
Built for professionals who need to review archived Google Workspace email without a live account, without uploading data to a third-party service, and without keeping a server running. The viewer lives entirely on disk. When you're done, delete the folder.
