I am trying to understand how cybersecurity and digital forensics teams investigate MBOX files during email related incidents. When an MBOX file contains thousands of emails, what methods or tools are typically used to analyze message headers, attachments, sender information, timestamps, and suspicious content?
Do investigators usually rely on email forensic tools, or can MBOX files be effectively examined using standard email clients? I would appreciate insights into common workflows, best practices, and challenges involved in analyzing large MBOX files during security investigations.
