When you need old DBX emails in Outlook 2019 quickly, the key is to skip the manual email-by- email transfer. DBX is an Outlook Express format, so converting the mailbox to PST first gives Outlook 2019 a format it can work with.

A simple route is to select the DBX file, scan and preview the mailbox and export it as PST. Mailvare Free DBX to PST Converter follows this approach and also supports attachments and mail properties during export. Once the PST is ready, you can open it in Outlook 2019 and check the migrated folders.

EML and MBOX are different mailbox formats, so conversion is needed when emails are stored individually. EML files have to be brought together into an MBOX based mail archive. The process is fairly simple if the files are already saved on a Windows computer.

A practical option is to use GainTools EML to MBOX Converter. It allows EML messages to be added separately or from a folder, provides a preview before export and creates the MBOX file at a location selected on the computer. It also supports EML files originating from Thunderbird, Apple Mail, Windows Live Mail and other email clients.

After the export, open the MBOX in the intended mail application and check a few messages. That quick check is worthwhile before putting the original EML collection aside.
