How to Convert EML to DOC

Corporate correspondence must be backed up and protected against data loss. As a standard solution, emails should be stored safely in a format compatible with common office applications. One of these options is DOC, which transforms EML into a format recognized by Microsoft Word. When employees resign and their profiles are deleted, emails saved as DOC remain.

Total Mail Converter is exactly the tool you need to convert EML files to DOC files professionally:

It can transform emails to DOC files within a couple of clicks. All you need to do is select the emails and set the destination for the future DOC copies.
You select what to do with attachments: extract them into a separate folder, include attached images into the final document or convert attachments into DOC files as well.
You select the fields to convert: subject, body, sender, etc.
Total Mail Converter works with any number of EML files at the same time. This means that you can select a thousand emails and process them in one go. Naturally, it's a time saver.
The program can add page numbers, dates or any text to DOC files during conversion.

Reasons for Conversion

EML files contain individual emails — specifically, the sender and recipients, body, headers, attachments, and other components. You can open EML using mail clients like MS Outlook, Apple Mail, or Thunderbird, so its use is very limited.

In comparison, DOC is a fixture of office life. Companies in all industries use DOC files for their daily tasks, from curriculums to invitations.

Conversion to DOC makes sending and managing data easier. Common reasons to convert EML to Word document include:

Making emails easier to share, as DOC is universally accepted
Combining hundreds of emails into one document
Creating a table of contents
Preparing files for eDiscovery
Creating a backup
Archiving
