EML Converter Software Features
What PCVITA EML Converter does with a folder of saved emails, grouped by task.
Converts EML and EMLX Files in Bulk
One message or a folder tree with thousands of files loads in one step, with no size cap on the files.
Single Files or a Folder Tree
File Mode takes single files. Folder Mode takes a folder with every sub folder in it and keeps that layout in the output.
Drag and Drop Loading
Drop the files or the folder onto the Select Files screen instead of browsing to them.
No File Size or Count Limit
EML converter software converts files of any size and any number in one job. Demo edition stops at 10 per folder while the full edition has no limit.
Files From Any EML Program
Windows Live Mail, Thunderbird, Eudora, Outlook Express and Windows Mail save EML files that load without the source program on the machine.
Add More Files Before You Convert
Click Add More Files to load a second batch into the same job or Remove All to clear the list and start again.
Filters and Selects Before the Export
Convert the emails from one period only and send them to one format or several in the same session.
Date Range Filter on the Sent Date
Set a start and an end date and only the emails sent inside that window convert.
Several Date Ranges in One Job
Click Add Range more than once. Every range shows in a table where you remove one or all of them before the export.
Several Output Formats at Once
Tick PST and PDF together or any mix of the 12 formats. EML converter tool writes every ticked format in the same job.
Everything by Default
Leave the date filter unticked and every loaded file exports.
Keeps Attachments and Folder Names Intact
Nothing drops out between the source file and the output file. ExportReport.csv proves it.
Attachments Stay With Their Emails
Attachments export with the message in the original format, in PST, MSG, PDF or any other output.
Folder Structure Retained
Folder Mode keeps the on disk folder tree, so the output PST carries the same folder names as the source folder.
Header Fields and Dates Preserved
Subject, From, To, Cc and the sent and received dates stay as the source file holds them.
ExportReport.csv for Every Job
Source Path, Destination Path, Success Count and Failed Count for every file, saved in the output folder next to the converted data.
Application Logs on Request
Save Logs writes the session log from the Application Logs tab when support asks for it.
Outputs the Format You Need
Converted emails go to Outlook as a PST file, five other email formats or six document and data formats.
PST for Outlook With Split
Create a PST file for the selected files and folders and split the output after a set size, 50 GB by default. Outlook 2021, 2019, 2016, 2013, 2010 and 2007 open the file.
MSG, EML, EMLX and MBOX for Other Programs
Save every message as its own MSG, EML or EMLX file or write one MBOX file for Thunderbird and other MBOX programs.
PDF, HTML, MHT and TXT Documents
PDF, HTML, MHT and TXT hold the emails as documents for records, printing or a case file.
CSV, JSON and ZIP Options
CSV writes one file with the header properties of every email. JSON and ZIP sit on the same Export Options list.
Naming Convention for File Outputs
For MSG, EML and EMLX output, name the files Same as Source File, by Subject or by a date pattern, with Underscore, Space or Hyphen as the delimiter.
Try these options on your own files. Free demo converts the first 10 items in a folder, whatever formats you tick.
Why Outlook Alone does Not Move a Folder of EML Files
Four facts from Microsoft and the EML standard next to what PCVITA EML converter software does about them.
- 1
Import Wizard Takes PST and CSV but Not EML
Microsoft’s import pages list Outlook Data File (.pst) and Comma Separated Values as the sources for the Import/Export wizard. EML is not on that list. PCVITA EML Converter creates the PST file that the wizard accepts or any of 11 other formats.
- 2
Drag and Drop Opens One Message
Drag and drop onto the reading pane, right click and double click are the three routes on Microsoft’s page about .eml files. Every route opens one saved message to read. EML converter tool processes a folder tree in one job and keeps the folder names in the output.
- 3
Windows Live Mail Reached End of Support
Microsoft states that the Windows Essentials 2012 suite, which includes Mail, reached end of support on January 10, 2017 and is no longer available for download. EML files saved by that program still load in PCVITA EML Converter on a current Windows PC and convert to PST for Outlook.
- 4
EML is Plain Text With Attachments Inside
RFC 5322 defines the message as header fields followed by an optional body, all as text lines, so a text editor shows an attachment as a block of encoded characters. PCVITA EML Converter exports every attachment in its original format with the email.
Prepare Before Using the EML Converter Tool
Seven checks before your first job. Work through them, then open the software.
- Copy the saved emails to the Windows machine from the old PC, the backup drive or the mail program’s store folder. Keep that copy until you have checked the output.
- Check Windows and hardware. PCVITA EML Converter installs on Windows 11, 10, 8.1, 8, 7 or Vista with 4 GB RAM and 100 MB free disk space.
- Keep the activation key from the purchase email ready or continue with the free demo. Activation works online or offline from the Product Activation window.
- Free up space in the destination folder. Output PST files and PDF copies with attachments take more room than the EML files, so select a folder with enough storage at the Select Destination step.
- Decide the output formats before you start. PST goes into Outlook, MBOX into Thunderbird and PDF into a records folder. One job writes several of them.
- Skip the Outlook install. EML converter software writes the PST file on its own. Open the file in Outlook later with File, Open & Export, Import/Export.
- Try the free demo on your files before you buy. Download the EML converter demo and convert 10 items from every folder in any format.

EML File Facts to Check Before a Big Conversion
- RFC 5322 defines an email message as header fields followed by an optional body, all as text, which is what an EML file holds.
- Outlook’s import wizard lists PST and CSV as sources, so convert to PST first and import or open that file.
- Unicode PST files default to 50 GB in Outlook 2010 and later, so keep the Split PST value under that figure for a large folder set.
- Windows Essentials 2012, the suite with Mail in it, reached end of support on January 10, 2017. Copy its EML files to a current Windows PC before you convert.
- Keep the source folder until you open the output and read the Success Count and Failed Count in ExportReport.csv.

Is there a file size or file count limit?
No. PCVITA EML Converter converts EML files of any size and any number in one job. Only the free demo has a limit, 10 items per folder.
Can I export to PST and PDF at the same time?
Yes. Tick both formats on the Export Options screen or any mix of the 12 formats. All ticked formats land in one session in the same destination folder.
How do I open the converted PST file in Outlook?
Use the Outlook import wizard. In classic Outlook go to File, then Open & Export, then Import/Export. Choose Import from another program or file, select Outlook Data File (.pst), browse to the converted PST file and click Finish. New Outlook imports a PST file from Settings, Data files, Import.
What does ExportReport.csv show after the conversion?
One row per source file. Source Path, Destination Path, Success Count and Failed Count show what EML converter software processed. Open the file in Excel from the output folder. Save the Application Logs if support asks for them.
Demo and price What the demo covers and what a licence costs
What does the free demo of EML Converter do?
Every option with a 10 item cap per folder. Demo edition loads files and folders, filters by date, writes all 12 formats and converts the first 10 items of a folder. Buy the full edition to convert the rest.

No. PCVITA EML Converter creates the PST file on its own, without Outlook or any other email program on the machine. You need Outlook later only to import or open the PST file.
Does the tool also take EMLX files?
Yes. EMLX files load next to EML files in either mode. EMLX is on the output list as well, so you convert in both directions.
Can I name the output files by subject or date?
Yes, for EML, EMLX and MSG output. Select a Naming Convention on the Select Destination screen (Same as Source File, Subject or a date pattern) and a delimiter (Underscore, Space or Hyphen). PST output has no naming option.
