import mail from file

Post by anmarti »

Hello,

Is it possible mails I saved as file (*.eml, *.txt, etc.) import into mozilla mail? Or is this feature planed to further version of mozilla. I work with different mail systems on different computers. When I want move or copy a mail to an other computer, its not so easy. I don't want forward the mail. I need the original mail imported as file.

I'll second that request . . .

If I open a .eml file (with a default OE association), I can simply move it to an Outlook Express folder--pretty handy for putting an email into someone else's OE. A similar feature for Mozilla would be quite nice.

Well, this isn't a full answer, but a possible partial answer is (if you have access to an IMAP server):
Set up whatever client is generating the saved emails to access that IMAP server. Copy the message onto the IMAP server.

Set up Mozilla to access that IMAP server. Connect and copy the messages over to Mozilla's local repository.

Well, I suppose that isn't really a solution, but maybe it'll be a good enough workaround for you.
