As a marketing associate, my work is around emails. I have tried various software in the past years. But, the way Corbett EML Converter works, I am impressed and suggest everyone to try it.

Michael Corner

Print with filters

Quite a reliable & interesting tool, it helps me to print EML files with data filters. I will recommend this EML migrator for instant & secure conversion results.

Jill Marcelo

Before conversion

Prepare Your EML Files for Conversion

Three short checks save a repeat session.

Keep EML files in one folder

Collect your messages into a single directory so one load brings them all into EML converter.

Browse to a clean drive

Any drive or directory works. Select an output drive with plenty of space, because PDF output can take more room than EML.

Match the target program

Select the format your next program needs. PDF suits records, PST or MBOX suit mail clients and CSV suits address lists.

After conversion, open Import EML to Gmail or Import EML to Thunderbird account.

Best practice

How to Keep Your EML Conversion Safe

Your EML conversion only helps if your mail arrives in full. Four habits keep your data safe through it.

Backup first

Copy your original EML folder before you start. Keep 3 copies on 2 types of media with 1 copy off site.

Start with a few files

Convert one small folder with Corbett and open a few messages in your new format. Catch a wrong setting before a large job.

Check the count

Compare the number of EML files with the converted emails before you close the job.

Keep originals until checked

Store your source EML files until counts match. Delete them only after you open converted mail.
