Converting a PST file to EML manually requires using Microsoft Outlook. First, you need to open the PST file in Outlook and then individually drag and drop each email to a folder, saving them as EML files. Alternatively, you can use Outlook’s “Save As” option to save emails in EML format. This process is tedious, especially when dealing with multiple emails, as it requires manually handling each message. Additionally, Outlook must be installed, and there is a risk of missing attachments, email formatting errors, and loss of metadata during the conversion.
Using a PST File Converter eliminates these challenges by providing a seamless and automated conversion process. The tool allows you to convert entire PST files to EML format in bulk while preserving the original folder structure, attachments, and email properties. It ensures accurate migration without requiring Outlook installation, making it a more efficient and reliable solution for users looking to access PST emails in EML-supported email clients.
