Upon cleaning up my hard disk, I came across a lot of eml-files. Some of them are messages I saved directly while others are exports from email applications that I used over the years like Outlook Express, Thunderbird and even Lotus Notes. I noticed that recent versions of Outlook can now also directly open eml-files but I actually want to store them within Outlook so all my entire email archive is kept together. How can I import all these eml-files into Outlook?

Still have some eml-files lying around from Outlook Express, Windows (Live) Mail, Thunderbird or any other mail client that you want to import into Outlook? This guides contains instructions and 2 scripts to import eml-files into an Outlook folder of your choice.
