Import EML Email Into Office 365 Outlook

To import your email mes­sages in .eml format into Out­look in Office 365, you can use the fol­low­ing steps:

 

     

      1. Open Out­look: Launch Out­look on your com­puter that is con­nec­ted to your Office 365 account.
      2. Set up a new email account: If you haven’t already added your Office 365 email account to Out­look, fol­low the instruc­tions provided by Office 365 to set up your email account in Out­look.
      3. Cre­ate a folder for import­ing emails: In Out­look, cre­ate a new folder where you want to import your .eml files. Right-click on the desired loc­a­tion, choose “New Folder,” and provide a name for the folder.
      4. Enable the option to view file exten­sions: By default, Out­look hides file exten­sions. To enable view­ing file exten­sions, go to the “View” tab in the Out­look rib­bon and check the “File name exten­sions” option.
      5. Con­vert .eml files to .msg format: Before import­ing, you need to con­vert the .eml files to the .msg format. You can do this using third-party tools like “Out­look Free­ware Import EML to Out­look.”
      6. Import .msg files into Out­look: In Out­look, go to the folder where you want to import the .msg files. Then, go to the “File” tab in the Out­look rib­bon and click on “Open & Export” > “Import/Export.”
      7. Choose “Import from anoth­er pro­gram or file”: In the Import and Export Wiz­ard, select the “Import from anoth­er pro­gram or file” option, and click “Next.”
      8. Select the file type: Choose “Out­look Data File (.pst)” as the file type to import, and click “Next.”
      9. Loc­ate the .msg files: Click on the “Browse” but­ton to nav­ig­ate to the folder where you saved the con­ver­ted .msg files. Make sure to select the folder con­tain­ing the .msg files, not indi­vidu­al files. Click “Next” when you have selec­ted the folder.
      10. Choose the des­tin­a­tion folder: Select the folder you cre­ated in step 3 as the des­tin­a­tion for import­ing the emails. You can either select the folder dir­ectly or choose to import it into your mail­box’s root folder. Click “Fin­ish” to begin the import pro­cess.
      11. Veri­fy impor­ted emails: Once the import pro­cess com­pletes, you should see the impor­ted emails in the folder you spe­cified. You can nav­ig­ate to the folder and check if all the emails have been impor­ted suc­cess­fully.

    1.  

    All done! You have now impor­ted your .eml files into Out­look in Office 365. It should now be pos­sible to access and man­age your impor­ted emails in Out­look using your Office 365 account.
