how do I import .eml messages?
Hi there. I've searched and found posts about this problem, but none work. I downloaded and installed add-on 'importexporttools'. However, it doesn't work on my Windows 10 machine. When I try to import from a directory nothing happens. Also when I 'right click' on the folder, there is no import option. I have lots of emails to import, so I'm wondering if there is too many !!!
Any help please.

Thanks shhowes. Did as you suggested, but Thunderbird doesn't recognise the .eml files. It can see the directories ok, just not the content.
So close.
Does anyone know of a third part that allows dbx to elm conversion. I've found many that want to charge, which I assume this for commercial use, but I only want to do this once.

Well I've managed a work around to importing dbx files to Thunderbird. I used a PC with OE on it and imported the dbx files to an acount I created on this PC. Then I installed the Thunderbird account onto that PC. They I imported the emails from OE. Unfortunately this gave me another problem. When I imported the files to TB, it created a 'Local' directory for the imports. I've since tried to move and copy this local directory to the online section, but it doesn't work. There's way too many files to do them one by one. Does anyone know how I can do this?
Unfortunately leaving them for access isn't an option. I'll try your select multiple messages from Local Folders option.
Thanks again.
Well done sfhowes. That worked. Only took around 10 minutes to do about 3,000 emails. I'll mark this as solved. Again, thanks for your help.
