Outlook, PST, EML and local folders
Hi,
I need help on topic "Outlook, PST, EML and local folders".
I have .. - Win 10, 64 bit - Outlook 2010 - current thunderbird, first time installed 10 days ago (newbie!) - a huge, locally stored PST file with a lot of folders, like "in_2014 / In_2015 / .. / Out_2014 / Out_2015"
I want .. - to have access to the mails in the PST with Thunderbird.
I did .. - read some information and found that there is no direct access - install ImportExportTools NG - tried to import "Via Outlook", but failed: "No profile found". I think Outlook 2010 is too old - install "Outlook Viewer" from CoolUtils. Opened the PST, exported a lot of EML-files, one for every single mail. - defined a "Local folder", called "in_2014" - copied the EMLs to this folder. They appear in the folder-tree of Thunderbird, but not as single "mails". I have to open (doubleclick) every EML to see the mail. - tried to "Import" the data (one by one / many together / from folder) to the local folder, but got a long error message with a lot a strange error-codes - tried to export data from PST to one single EML with many mails in it. Failed, the software does not offer this feature. - tried to "Import" the EML to a folder of a mail account. This was successful, but only the first step. - tried to move / copy the currently imported mails from mail-account to my local folder: failed again without reaction and without message.
What can I do now? How to get mails from a PST to a locally stored, Thunderbird readable structure?
Thanks in advance for help.

Let's start with the EMLs in the folder you created using Outlook Viewer. Here are next steps:
- store the EML messages in a folder in windows file explorer (that is, not a folder in thunderbird)
- in thunderbird, highlight Local Folders, rightclick and create the folder 'in_2014'
- now, highlight the in_2014 folder, rightclick and select the importexport option to 'import all EML messages from a directory' and then locate and select the folder in which you stored the EML messages
The result should be as intended.
