Salvaging Windows Mail *.eml files to Outlook

Posted by jpluimers on 2013/02/15

A while ago, I salvaged the Windows Mail *.eml files from a broken Vista machine of a friend to a new machine running Outlook. The Vista machine was so broken that it wouldn’t boot any more (now he knows that porn comes with truckloads of viruses).

Naively I assumed this was a straightforward process (hey, it’s all Microsoft, and they have great interoperability, right?).

Well no (:

  • *.msg files are for Outlook, which does not support *.eml files
  • *.eml files are for Outlook Express and Windows Mail, which supports exporting to Exchange (which is wrong, they mean “Export to the message store that Outlook uses)

So as soon as you have all mail in Windows Mail, then you can export it to Outlook.

You can do the same with *.dbx files from Outlook Express: use Windows Mail as an intermediate store as described here: Importing DBX files into Outlook 2007 – Windows Software.

But first things first.
