I want to transfer .eml files into new folder in apple mail

These come from Outlook Express, correct? If you have no way to re-save them from OE to a different format, then you might try some conversion utilities you can find at MacUpdate or CNET Downloads. Search for "outlook express." Alternatively, you would need to find an email program that can handle OE mail files then re-export to a format compatible with Mail such as Thunderbird.

I found this thread:

Personally, I've never had to do it, but OE always is problematic to work with. I usually start with converting OE files (.dbx files) to Outlook pst files, then doing the convert. But not everyone has access to Outlook.

In that forum (above) are several comments from folks who have done the conversions.

With yours, .eml files are the individual mail files (not the mail store), so you might have to look deeper, OR get back into the mail store and put them all there again.

Good Luck.

I had the same problem - trying to import my Windows Mail files (Outlook Express is the same format) into OS X.

After much Googling, I found this utility:

http://luethje.eu/prog/eml2m_en.htm

You have to run it in Windows at a command prompt ('DOS' Window) to export your .eml files to .mbx format.

Then copy those files to your mac, Open Mail, select File|Import Mailboxes, and import the files you copied over.

Then, you just need to organize them as you want, as Mail will put all imported files under one 'Import' folder.

Pretty late, but maybe for someone else. Maybe this works: http://www.beyondinbox.com/.

For Mac Users, Apple Mail is considered to be the most widely-used and much talked-about email client. It creates both EMLX and MBOX mailbox files to save the emails and their attachments. This tool provides Apple Mail conversion with both formats to MS Outlook 2011 and exports on RGE format also provide conversion at:-

* Conversion of Postbox MBOX files to Apple Mail MBOX files

* Migration from Outlook 2011 OLM to Apple Mail MBOX

* Converts Thunderbird MBOX to Apple Mail MBOX or Outlook 2011 RGE

The program immediately Imports EML files to Apple Mail with folder structure – Sent items, Delete items, Draft items, Inbox and Outbox.It supports all versions of Mac OS, including OS X 10.9 Mavericks. In addition, it is compatible with 10.5 Leopard, OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, 10.7 Lion, and 10.8 Mountain Lion. See full details: http://www.mannatsoftware.com/stellar-mail-converter-mac.html

If I am not wrong apple mail supports .mbox files. So, for that you can use third party tool (http://www.birdiesoftware.com/eml-to-mbox/). Once I used it to transfer my eml files in Thunderbird which also supports mbox files. I think it’s very helpful and easy way proved for me.
