Here we will discuss all the manual and the professional approaches regarding the same in brief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As we all know, EML files are created by Windows Live Mail, Mozilla Thunderbird, Outlook Express, etc. It is available in the text and binary format whose header part includes ASCII content, and its body part comprises attachments, hyperlinks, and normal texts. Usually, these individual message files are used by computer users to share some important emails through electronic communication means.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While on the other hand, PST is the file format used by Microsoft Outlook that stores entire mailbox information equal to multiple EML files. Hence, it is sufficient to export the EM files to PST file format. But before jumping directly to the solutions, let us explore some of the reasons behind the conversion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Must Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cigatisolutions.com\/blog\/convert-eml-to-csv\/\">Convert EML to CSV<\/a>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_82_2 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-light-blue ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cigatisolutions.com\/blog\/convert-eml-to-pst\/#Why_Do_We_Need_to_Convert_EML_Files_to_Outlook_PST\" >Why Do We Need to Convert EML Files to Outlook PST?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cigatisolutions.com\/blog\/convert-eml-to-pst\/#Native_Ways_to_Convert_Emails_from_EML_to_PST\" >Native Ways to Convert Emails from EML to PST<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cigatisolutions.com\/blog\/convert-eml-to-pst\/#Method_1_Use_Windows_Live_Mail_Microsoft_Outlook\" >Method 1: Use Windows Live Mail &amp; Microsoft Outlook<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cigatisolutions.com\/blog\/convert-eml-to-pst\/#Method_2_Drag_and_Drop_the_EML_File\" >Method 2: Drag and Drop the EML File<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cigatisolutions.com\/blog\/convert-eml-to-pst\/#Method_3_Automated_Solution_to_Convert_EML_Files_to_PST\" >Method 3: Automated Solution to Convert EML Files to PST<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-4' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-4'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cigatisolutions.com\/blog\/convert-eml-to-pst\/#Summing_Up\" >Summing Up<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-4'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-7\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cigatisolutions.com\/blog\/convert-eml-to-pst\/#Frequently_Asked_Questions\" >Frequently Asked Questions<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Do_We_Need_to_Convert_EML_Files_to_Outlook_PST\"><\/span>Why Do We Need to Convert EML Files to Outlook PST?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are multiple reasons why users want to convert EML files to PST format.
