Yes, Thunderbird import EML files manually, but you’ll need to use a helpful add-on like ImportExportTools NG because Thunderbird doesn’t have a built-in EML import feature. With this add-on, you can right-click on any mailbox folder, choose ImportExportTools NG > Import EML files, and select the EML files from your system. This method works well for smaller batches, but when dealing with large numbers of EML files, it can become repetitive and might not always preserve the exact folder hierarchy if not handled properly.

On the other hand, using the Advik EML Converter makes importing EML files to Thunderbird much easier and more reliable. The tool is designed to automate the entire process, allowing you to bulk import thousands of EML files without any risk of data loss or manual errors. It maintains the original structure, attachments, and metadata, ensuring your emails appear in Thunderbird exactly as they were. This saves you time and effort, making it a practical solution for both home users and businesses migrating their email data.

Yes, Thunderbird can import EML files, but it can be hard and take a long time to do it manually. If you need to bring in many EML files to Thunderbird, a specialized program can help a lot. WholeClear Thunderbird to EML Converter is a helpful tool that lets you easily convert and arrange your emails without losing any data. It can convert a lot of files at once, keeping attachments and formatting the same, and is quite straightforward to use, even if you're not particularly tech-savvy. If you're moving from another email client or backing up your messages, this application is great. It makes sure that everything is organized and easy to find in Thunderbird with just a few simple clicks.
