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.

Or, how to migrate your Outlook 2003 mailbox, contacts and calendar items to Mac OS X.

1. Do yourself a favor, spent $10, save your self hours and hours of extra work, and buy Little Machine’s Outlook-to-Mac (O2M). It will convert your outlook profile/.PST to Mac friendly standards perfectly. Download and install.

2. From you PC with your Outlook 2003 profile open, run O2M and follow the prompts, asking you nicely to place a check mark next which folders you want to convert. YES. This does include sub-folders, sent items, drafts, etc. You can also select your contacts and you calendar for conversion as well.

3. Copy the folders created by O2M to a thumb drive or maybe a CD and then copy them on to your Mac OS X machine.

4. From your Mac you can now go through each app, mail, address book and ical, and import your stuff. File > Import > Mailboxes, vCards or iCal file.

Done.
