bhinkes 0 Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 Hello, I have about 1000 .eml files that were exported from another software program. Each file has a standard structure to identify titles, tags, dates, and content. Is there a program or script out there that would help me import these files into evernote - not as an attachment but as new notes? Thank you! Link to comment

Which device/platform are you using I could parse the .eml file on my Mac using Applescipt btw, Mac's also have a viewer for .eml files Link to comment
FISDTechDir 0 Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 I'm no expert in evernote, but I do know you have an email address you can send email too that will import the contents into a new note. If EML files are just email messages, you should be able to import them into say, Outlook, then select them all and forward them to the evernote address maybe? Just throwing an idea out there.

Sorry - have to throw that one back. It only works if you're a subscriber, which the OP is not. Basic users don't have a useful email access to their account. Link to comment

Also sorry - Applescript is a Mac-only affair (AFAIK). Windows does have scripting though. Link to comment

You can find it under the Tools menu. Drag a couple of the files in the import folder and they appear in the corresponding notebook. Even then, not sure of the benefit of importing EML files into EN. They won't get indexed as best I know though they would be in one place. Have you thought about putting them in some cloud storage or another? Link to comment
Paintball Mask Pro 0 Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Hi, I have around 1000 .eml records that were sent out from another product program. Each record has a standard design to distinguish titles, labels, dates, and content. Is there a program or content out there that would help me import these records into evernote - not as a connection but rather as new notes? Much thanks to you! Link to comment

I can drag the .eml files to an import folder on my Mac Notes would be created with the .eml stored as a note attachment file Using the Evernote Legacy product with applescript will allow processing of the eml contents to for "titles, labels, dates and content" Link to comment
