how can i open eml files with outlook not outlook express?

[Guest]

My email provider doesn't offer pop3 or imap, but it offers me to save emails
in eml type. I can open it with outlook express, but i cannot find the way to
open it with Outlook that came with MS office 2003. I'm trying to save all my
emails that i received from my friends. Please let me know if there's a way.

Outlook can't open .eml files, AFAIK.
What kind of mail account do you have with this provider, if not POP or
IMAP? Is this hosted Exchange?

You'll need to drop them in OE and export to OL. Better yet, get a real
provider... (how do you get the mail on your machine?)
