Have you checked that your file type association in Windows is set to open .eml files ?

Windows Settings -> Apps -> Default Apps (on the left) listed under the Reset button, you will see

  • Choose Default Apps By File Type
  • Choose Default Apps By Protocol
  • Set Defaults By App

Select *Choose Default Apps By File Type (it may take a minute for the list to load) scroll down to .eml and click on the line to the right of it to select an app.

What I found is that the .eml file has to be converted to a .pst file to be opened in Outlook.
