Importing EML mail messages into Outlook and/or Exchange mailbox

20th January 2009

Have an EML file that you want to import into your Outlook mailbox? No problem.

It’s real easy and everything you need is already built into all versions of Windows. Here’s how:

  1. Open the folder with the EML file in it. Set aside.
  2. Open Outlook Express. (Does not need to be a “real” account so if you get any prompts, just fill it with some bogus info. Consequentially, if Outlook Express does have emails in the inbox, you will need to remove them if you do not want them added to Outlook.)
  3. Drag the EML messages in question over into the Inbox of Outlook Express. (Hint: If you want any of the messages to be marked as “un-read” within Outlook you will need to mark them as “un-read” within Outlook Express)
  4. Open Outlook, select File > Import > Import Internet Mail and Addresses > Select Outlook Express 4.x, 5.x, 6.x (Remove Check marks from Address Book and Rules) > Click OK (Not Save in Inbox)

Done.
