Manual process for importing EML archives to ProtonMail using the import/export tools:

  • Export your EML archives from your current email client. The specific steps will vary depending on the client you are using.
  • Download and install the ProtonMail Import/Export app.
  • Open the ProtonMail Import/Export app and log in to your ProtonMail account.
  • Click the Import local files button.
  • Select the folder on your computer where your EML archives are stored.
  • Click the Import button.

The ProtonMail Import/Export app will import your EML archives into your ProtonMail account. You can select which folder in your ProtonMail account you want to import the emails to, and you can also choose to apply a label to the imported emails. The manual method is a little tricky and time-consuming process. I suggest importing EML to PST by Mailvita Software. This application supports all email clients of EML files such as Windows Live Mail, ProtonMail, Thunderbird, Apple Mail, Outlook Express, etc. You can easily Import and Export a ProtonMail Account.
