When moving from Windows to Mac, users often face difficulty opening EML files because macOS applications like Apple Mail use the EMLX format. To
convert EML to EMLX smoothly during this transition, it’s best to follow a simple and reliable approach.
First, transfer your EML files from the Windows system to your Mac using a USB drive, external hard disk, or cloud storage. Once the files are available on macOS, use a Mac-compatible conversion solution such as the
MailConverterTools EML Converter for Mac. Open the tool and add the EML files or entire folders to handle multiple emails at once. Preview the emails if required, then select EMLX as the output format and choose a destination folder. After the conversion is complete, open Apple Mail on your Mac and go to File → Import Mailboxes. Select Apple Mail as the import option and browse to the folder containing the converted EMLX files. This process ensures that your emails appear correctly in Apple Mail with original formatting, attachments, and metadata preserved, making the move from Windows to Mac easier and more organized.
