Transferring Roundcube emails to Outlook manually involves configuring both accounts using the IMAP protocol. First, open Outlook and add your Roundcube email account by entering the correct IMAP and SMTP settings (usually available from your email hosting provider). Once connected, Outlook will synchronize and display your Roundcube emails. You can then create a new PST file in Outlook and manually drag-and-drop emails from the Roundcube folders into the PST folders. However, this method is time-consuming, prone to synchronization errors, and may not preserve the folder hierarchy or attachments correctly, especially with large mailboxes.
To simplify the process and avoid data loss, using a professional tool like the MCD IMAP Backup Tool is highly recommended. This utility allows you to securely log in with your Roundcube credentials and export all your emails directly to Outlook-supported formats like PST or MBOX. It preserves folder structures, supports bulk export, and allows scheduled backups—making the transition seamless and efficient. Whether you’re moving a single mailbox or multiple accounts, the MCD IMAP Backup Tool offers a reliable and user-friendly solution to transfer Roundcube emails to Outlook without technical complications.
