The EML file extension stands for E-Mail Message. It is a data format that is commonly used to save and transfer email messages over the internet. This type of file is often generated using certain email programs, such as MS Outlook, Apple Mail, or Mozilla Thunderbird. This particular file extension allows for grouping several related email messages into one single file, and thus, makes it easier to locate and manage these email messages.
Benefits of Using the EML File Extension
The EML file format offers several benefits to users. Firstly, they are relatively easy to open and edit in most text editing applications since these files store content in plain text. It also supports Unicode and lets users send and receive emails using different character sets. Additionally, this type of file format promises an organized presentation of all email messages, which can be quite useful for managing large numbers of emails. This includes many useful features such as support for attachments with hypertext markup language (HTML), integration of images and other multimedia content, and the ability to transfer music files.
Similar File Extensions
Besides the EML file extension, users can also create similar file formats such as .MSG, .MHT, .MIM. All these formats are designed for different mail formats used in various programs.

After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .EML) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .EML extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .EML file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .EML extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .EML extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .EML file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .EML file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .EML file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .EML file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .EML file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
