Should I Convert to PST or Import from EML

Hi there.

I’m migrating from Windows Live Mail to Office 365 Outlook but am a little confused over which utility I should use to best achieve that.

The description of utility “Convert to PST for Outlook” specifically states that “All images, HTML formatting, attachments, and headers will be retained” whilst utility “Import EML to Outlook” does not.
Similarly, the description of utility “Import EML to Outlook” specifically states that “the utility retains the original folder structure” whilst utility “Convert to PST for Outlook” does not.

So, if I want to successfully migrate all messages, including attachments, from WLM to Outlook whilst maintaining the original folder structure which utility should I use.

Can you please point me in the right direction on this?
Regards all the way from Sweden

Both utilities will retain all images, HTML formatting, attachments, and headers. “Import EML to Outlook” allows to import directly to connected Office 365 account. “Retains the original folder structure” option is available in the Advanced version of the both utilities only.

Step 2: Select the folder, check the preview of EML files, and select those emails you want to convert. Step 3: Choose PST as a file saving option, required destination path, and click on the convert button.

Hope this information is helpful to you

Trevor Ellis Messages: 2 Registration: 1/25/2021	#5 1/25/2021 7:14 AM Hello, I am trying to use EML to PST converter. The utility will let me select an individual file but not a folder. If I select a folder containing EML files I just get an error. I have precisely the same issue with the Import EML tool.

Trevor Ellis Messages: 2 Registration: 1/25/2021	#7 1/25/2021 9:23 AM Thank you for your reply. I don't have any subfolders and it clearly suggests in both pieces of software that it should process the contents of a folder NOT just one file at a time.
