Manually converting a PST file to EML requires Microsoft Outlook. The process involves opening the PST file in Outlook and then individually dragging and dropping each email into a folder to save them as EML files. Alternatively, you can use Outlook’s “Save As” option to export emails in EML format. However, this method is time-consuming and impractical for bulk conversions, as each email must be handled separately. Additionally, it requires Outlook to be installed and may result in missing attachments, formatting issues, or loss of metadata.
A more efficient solution is to use a PST File Converter, which automates the entire conversion process. This tool allows bulk conversion of PST files to EML while preserving the original folder structure, email properties, and attachments. It eliminates the need for Outlook and ensures an accurate and hassle-free migration, making it the preferred choice for users who need to access PST emails in EML-supported email clients.
