Windows 10 Mail: Import emails - how it works

Windows 10 also includes a mail app that you can use to send and receive emails. This practical tip will tell you whether old messages can also be imported.

Windows 10 Mail: Emails cannot be imported

• Microsoft has no function in the Windows 10 Mail app for importing emails from other programs.
• The reason for this is quite simple: Windows 10 Mail is not a full email client. The app only allows simplified access to your online mail accounts and displays the messages there.
• If you want to change your mail client and take locally saved e-mail with you, you should choose a program with an import function. E-mails can easily be imported into Thunderbird or Windows Live Mail, for example.

In our next practical tip, we'll show you how to fix the most common errors in the Windows 10 mail app.
