EML Import

OpenArchiver allows you to import EML files from a zip archive. This is useful for importing emails from a variety of sources, including other email clients and services.

Preparing the Zip File

To ensure a successful import, you should compress your .eml files to one zip file according to the following guidelines:

• Structure: The zip file can contain any number of .eml files, organized in any folder structure. The folder structure will be preserved in OpenArchiver, so you can use it to organize your emails.
• Compression: The zip file should be compressed using standard zip compression.

Here's an example of a valid folder structure:

archive.zip
├── inbox
│   ├── email-01.eml
│   └── email-02.eml
├── sent
│   └── email-03.eml
└── drafts
    ├── nested-folder
    │   └── email-04.eml
    └── email-05.eml

Creating an EML Ingestion Source

1. Go to the Ingestion Sources page in the OpenArchiver dashboard.
2. Click the Create New button.
3. Select EML Import as the provider.
4. Enter a name for the ingestion source.
5. Click the Choose File button and select the zip archive containing your EML files.
6. Click the Submit button.

OpenArchiver will then start importing the EML files from the zip archive. The ingestion process may take some time, depending on the size of the archive.
