Download MBox Office - Viewer and Migration Assistant for macOS 10.7 or later and enjoy it on your Mac. MBox office is a simple MBox viewer for the Mac (above 10.7). It lets you restore your archived.mbox archive to any IMAP supported email provider.
I have some .mbox files containing thousands of emails that were exported from Gmail. I'd like to be able to view mails, by conversation and by label (Gmail label), search, delete some mails, etc.
Essentially, it's a mail app in terms of UI, with labels on the left and with threaded conversations, but it works with a static mailbox file instead of talking to a real server. Sort of like how you can open a text file in a text editor, read it, search, delete things from it, and save it back.
What are some good apps that let you do this?

Apple Mail allows importing from .mbox files (see the import option in the File menu). I don't know how well it supports the other requirements you've listed but it might be worth a try.

How To View Mbox Files
Very poor handling of special character (e.g. é or à). The majority of my contacts appear with weid characters in the middle. The handling of a big GoogleTakeout file takes several minutes and leaves many files and folders behind which you have to delete manually (no uninstall) Useless.
Excellent!
exported from google all emails with a label opened the folder using this tool works! Brilliant!! Only 4 stars as I would also like to export to spreadsheet selected fields for more work. Cheers PS> didn't test support so did not rate
