Convert Email Files From Any Client

The email converter software reads thirteen file types, grouped below by the program that wrote them. Mix several in one run if the mail is spread across them.

Outlook

Other clients

Contacts

Not sure which file you have?

Open it first with a free viewer. Neither costs anything and neither changes the file.

Core features

What the Email Converter Wizard Does

Four screens, in the order a conversion runs.

Source selection screen

Profiles found for you

It Finds the Files Itself

Pick a desktop client and Email Converter Software locates its configured profile for you, instead of asking you to find it inside AppData. Outlook, Thunderbird and eight others are located on their own. Loose files load by browsing to them.

  • Configured profiles detected for ten desktop clients
  • Browse to a single file or a whole folder instead
  • Format read from the file, not from its extension
  • No mail client has to be installed to read its files
Folder tree with selection checkboxes

Selective conversion

Convert Part of a File

The file opens as a folder tree with a checkbox on every branch. One quarter of one sender comes out on its own. So does everything except junk.

  • A checkbox on every folder and subfolder
  • Date range, keyword, sender or subject filters
  • A message count shown against each folder
  • Several files queued into one output
Message preview with hex and raw views

Message preview

Check the Contents First

Messages open in a preview pane before anything is written. Alongside the reading view sit four analysis views, which is what forensic and IT users come for when a file has arrived from somewhere they do not control.

  • Content shows body, sender, recipient and subject
  • Message header exposes routing and delivery hops
  • Properties lists size, priority and attachments
  • Hex and raw message give the full source
Export format options

Output options

Eight Formats and a Naming Scheme

The output format is picked last, after the preview. Document formats carry a naming scheme, so a folder of thousands of PDFs stays searchable. Attachments or addresses can be pulled out on their own.

  • Mail formats: PST, MBOX, EML, MSG
  • Document formats: PDF, HTML, CSV, TXT
  • Naming by From, To, Date or Subject in any order
  • Attachments, addresses and phone numbers pulled out

Before you start

A File Goes In, a File Comes Out

Conversion happens entirely on disk. If a live mailbox is involved at either end, one of the other three tools is the right one.

Covered here

File to file

An MBOX you want as PST. A folder of EML you want as one PDF. Nothing signs in anywhere.

Different tool

Mailbox to file

Pulling mail out of a live account first? Start with the email backup software, or its provider pages: Gmail backup tool, Outlook.com backup tool, Hotmail backup tool, Office 365 backup tool and Yahoo backup tool and the iCloud backup tool, Webmail backup tool, Google Workspace backup tool.

Different tool

File to mailbox

Putting a saved file back into an account is what the email recovery software does.

Different tool

Mailbox to mailbox

Moving one account into another is handled by the email migration tool.

All four share one download. The mode is picked once Email Converter Software is open, so trying the wrong one costs nothing. Opening a file to read it, with no output at all, is the free email viewer software.

Free demo

Run it on your own file first

Install it, load the file, select what you need and pick a format. Nothing is written until you start the conversion.

Common questions

Email Converter Questions

What Email Converter Software reads, what it writes and where it stops.

Do I need the original mail client installed?

No. Email Converter Software reads PST, MBOX, OLM and the rest on its own, so a machine with no Outlook and no Thunderbird can still open and convert their files. That is the usual reason people choose it in the first place.

Does it need an internet connection or a mailbox password?

Neither. Conversion is a disk operation from start to finish. Nothing signs in, nothing uploads and the machine can be offline the whole time.

Does it change my original file?

No. The source is opened read only and the output is written to a folder you pick. Run the same file again next week and it behaves the same way.

Can it convert several files in one go?

Yes. Point it at a folder and every supported file inside is queued together. Files of different types can sit in the same run. The output can be one combined file or one per source.

Which formats can it read and write?

Thirteen go in: PST, OST, MBOX, EML, EMLX, MSG, DBX, OFT, OLM, vCard, Zimbra TGZ, CommuniGate and Maildir. Eight come out: PST, MBOX, EML, MSG, PDF, HTML, CSV and TXT, plus vCard and ICS for contacts and calendar entries.

Can it repair a corrupt PST file?

No. Repair rebuilds a broken file structure, which is a different task from reading a sound file and writing a new one. Repair the file first using our repair PST file without ScanPST, then convert it here.

Will folder structure and attachments survive?

Yes. The folder hierarchy is rebuilt in the output. Attachments, inline images, dates and the To, Cc, Bcc, From and Subject fields all carry across. There is also an option to flatten the hierarchy if a single flat folder suits you better.

Is there a file size limit?

No. A large archive needs disk space for the output and takes longer to write, but nothing stops part way. Speed depends on your own disk rather than on a network connection.

Does it convert contacts and calendars too?

Yes. Whatever the source holds comes through, so contacts, calendars, tasks and notes convert alongside the mail. Contacts can be written as vCard and calendar entries as ICS.

Does it run on Mac or Linux?

No. Email Converter Software is a Windows application only, from Windows 7 through Windows 11 and Windows Server 2008 through 2025. There is no macOS or Linux build, although it does read OLM files written by Outlook for Mac.

What does the free demo include?

Every preview, filter and format is unlocked in the demo. Only the writing is capped, at 10 files, which is enough to see whether the output opens cleanly at the other end.

Can I pull out just the attachments or the email addresses?

Yes. Under Extract there are separate options for attachments, email addresses and phone numbers, so those come out without converting whole messages.

What Buyers Say About the Converter

Across 683 reviews of the backup and restore wizard.

4.6 out of 5

Collected across 683 reviews from software directories and direct customer feedback. The three below are unedited.

Bought it for Gmail to PDF

I just wanted to convert emails from Gmail to PDF format. After purchasing this email conversion tool on a deal, I realized that apart from this, it can also convert emails from multiple platforms. Also, they provide dedicated support team that assist users 24*7 via live chat and email support.

Mike Stegner

One sender out of a Yahoo archive

I had to convert several emails from my Yahoo account to PDF format. Also, the emails I wanted to convert were from a particular sender. After I got tired of searching all possible manual methods I asked a colleague. He suggested this app and the software performed well.

Michael Corner

AOL mail moved into Outlook PST

I had a bunch of AOL mails that I needed to convert and move into Outlook PST format. A quick Google search led me to this mail converter software. After reading all the specs and reviews, I gave this email conversion tool a shot. The interface is pretty simple, so I did not face any difficulties during the conversion process.
