    Windows Mail in the latest Update converted All My Outlook Files to .eml. I cannot now...


    Hi,


    One of the latest Windows 10 Updates installed "Mail" on my pc.


    I accidentally started this and it converted all my saved email files on my pc without warning to "Mail" format ie. a .eml extension.

    I DON'T want to use "Mail" as I'm quite happy with Outlook and have all my existing message in there.

    However, I cannot not open any of my saved Outlook messages due to the .eml conversion.

    Changing the extension to .msg doesn't work as Windows just say the file can't be opened by Outlook as it's corrupted.

    Can Microsoft please tell me how to convert these back or make available a conversion tool.

    No update should be concerting people's files without warning or permission.

    :)

  2. EML (.eml) Files

    I have several .eml files saved to "Documents".

    While these will open with "Mail" there does not seem to be any option to "Print".

    Previously I had had these open with "Windows Live Mail" but this is no longer an option after latest update.

    Present option is to use EML --> PDF converter.

    Any ideas for direct printing please?

    Mails attached to mails or opening *.eml files

    Have a 950XL with the latest update to Outlook Mail.

    When I receive a mail with an attached mail (i.e. an *.eml file) this attached mail does not open. Have downloaded the mail - it is after all only a file - to the phones memory and tried to open it from within the file explorer.

    There I get the friendly message that "Launch File - Something went wrong. Could not launch the file"

    Have searched for an app that could read *.eml - files (guess that's what outlook is supposed to do?) but couldn't find any.

    Any good ideas?

    Thanks in adavance and all the best

    Mails attached to mails or opening *.eml files

    Kind of funny how things repeat...

    After the latest update to 15254.313 - which actually fixed the problem with opening pdf-files that went bust after the previous update - mails attached to mails (eml-files) won't open any more.

    Any suggestions?

    TIA & Brgds
