need to convert saved .eml files

[Ronzlo]

When using Windows Mail we had saved a bunch of emails to folders on the
C-drive (.eml). We recently bought a new PC running Windows 7 and Outlook
2007, and now can't open/read these saved messages because Oulook doesn't
recognize .eml files. Is there a way to convert these to .msg files, or is
there another way to open the saved .eml messages?
Thanks a lot

You might ask in the Outlook newsgroup where the Outlook experts hang out:

I would import the eml files on the old machine into Outlook and then you
can move the pst files to the new machine.

Otherwise see if there is an solution in the Outlook NGs as Gary suggested.

If you have a large number of saved.eml files that need to be converted into another format such as PST, PDF, MBOX and others then the easiest method is to use a specialized EML conversion tool. Manual approaches can be inefficient as well as cause formatting or attachment errors. I have personally had good results using GainTools EML Converter. It is easy to use, just select your preferred format, import your EML files or folder and convert. This tool is beneficial when working with crucial messages. Also it preserve your attachments and email structure. Additionally it helps to convert bulk EML files, saving you the trouble of processing each file individually. If you are looking for a secure and quick way to convert your emails then this tool is definitely worth trying.
