To Import EML files into Thunderbird manually, you first need to open Thunderbird, right-click on the folder where you want to import the EML files, select Import all messages from a directory > also from its subdirectories, and then choose the folder containing your EML files. This method allows you to bring in bulk EML files, but it comes with challenges—such as limited support for preserving metadata, attachments not importing properly, and difficulties handling large volumes of EML files efficiently. Moreover, users unfamiliar with Thunderbird add-ons may find the setup process confusing or time-consuming.

To simplify and streamline the process, using a professional tool like the Cigati EML Converter Tool is highly recommended. This tool not only supports direct import of EML files into Thunderbird but also offers additional benefits like preserving folder hierarchy, batch conversion, and exporting to multiple formats including PST, MBOX, and PDF. It’s user-friendly, compatible with all major Windows versions, and eliminates the manual hassle, making it ideal for users looking for a quick and secure way to import EML files into Thunderbird without risking data loss or corruption.

There are multiple web applications available to import EML files into Thunderbird format but I suggest you try the DataVare EML to MBOX Converter. This tool has an advanced feature that helps you export EML files into MBOX which is supported by the Thunderbird email client. It allows you to convert many EML files into MBOX at once. The tool is user-friendly so both technical and non-technical users can convert EML to MBOX with ease. It works without any other software and also has compatibility with Windows Live Mail Outlook Express, Apple Mail and other email clients. Try the free trial of this tool and explore its features.
