Recordvert turns mailboxes into PDFs you can keep, search and hand over. I built it because I had years of old mail in files I could no longer open, and the converters I tried got dates and senders wrong, couldn’t be stopped and restarted, or needed Windows. Recordvert reads the files directly. You don’t need Outlook, Windows or an account. HOW IT WORKS Add your mail: Outlook PST and OST files, or mbox files (from Apple Mail, Gmail Takeout, Thunderbird and others). You can add single files, drop them on the window, or import a whole folder as a group. Pick what to convert. Tick whole mailboxes or individual emails, and preview any email first. Choose where the PDFs go and press Convert. WHAT YOU GET One PDF per email, with From, To, Date and Subject at the top and the message body below, including pictures and formatting. Attachments your way: saved next to each email, or merged into one PDF per email with bookmarks. File names you control: build them from date, sender, subject and a running number. Word, Excel and PowerPoint attachments converted to PDF, with the original kept beside each one. PDFs, pictures and text files too. Anything else is saved exactly as it came, and the summary tells you which. A run summary PDF and a report.csv listing every email: converted, skipped or failed, and why. FIND WHAT MATTERS Filter by sender, recipient, subject, words in the message, date range and attachment type. Use * for part of a word. Highlight your words in five colors, including inside PDF and text attachments. A “Highlighted parts” report with just the sentences around each match. Group replies into conversations with a chain report. Duplicate copies are skipped, and the summary counts them. FOR PUBLIC RECORDS REQUESTS Check which emails match a request, review them one by one, and mark private details such as Social Security numbers, phone numbers and addresses. Black out words with a reason from your state’s public records law, add your own reasons, and keep a log of what was hidden and why. BUILT FOR BIG MAILBOXES Stop a long conversion and pick it up where it left off. Tested on a 3 GB mailbox of more than 4,000 emails with nothing lost. WHAT IT LEAVES OUT Calendar entries, tasks, contacts and notes inside a mail folder are skipped, and the summary says how many. Very old 32-bit PST files and some encrypted files can’t be read, and the app tells you plainly when that happens. YOUR MAIL STAYS YOURS Converting happens on your Mac. No account, no tracking, nothing is uploaded. Two optional settings use the internet, and both are off until you turn them on: “Load pictures from the internet”, and the relevance check, which can send the text of the emails you choose to an AI service you pick, using your own key. There is also an on-device choice that sends nothing. Pay once, no subscription. Questions or ideas? Write to support@recordvert.com. It comes straight to me.
