Hello,

I’m contacting you with a question.
I want to merge my EML files (more than 100) into a single one. How can I do that? Thanks
I’m using Thunderbird, the EML files are already on my hard drive.

Configuration: Windows / Firefox 66.0

    Hello

    I may be mistaken, but to my knowledge that is not possible. EML is an "export" format for emails, individually.
    So its usage is actually the opposite; its "advantage" is that it can be read by a series of email programs.

    If the goal is to make grouped backups of your emails "in case something happens", the best is still to regularly back up (make a copy) of the complete file that contains the data of your mailbox.
    In case of a crash, it will be enough to reinstall and then restore the file or import it.

    best regards

    Thank you Madmyke.

    The goal is to print these emails. It’s easier to do it with a single file.

      I understand better, but unfortunately I don’t think this is possible.
      Or to test, select multiple files with the CTRL+mouse, right-click, print.
      If you have a virtual PDF printer such as PDF24, you can test this maneuver without wasting paper.
