When using Import EML and MSG Files in WPS on macOS, common questions usually involve attachments, format differences, and destination folders; this FAQ covers 3 frequent questions.
FAQ
Can imported EML files keep their original attachments?
- Yes. EML files usually preserve the message body, attachments, sender information, and time information.
- After the import is complete, open the imported message to check whether the attachments are present.
- If an attachment is missing, first confirm that the original EML file already contains that attachment.
What is the difference between MSG and EML files?
- EML is a more general email file format used by multiple mail clients.
- MSG is more common in the Outlook ecosystem and may contain more Outlook-specific message structure.
- If you need broader cross-client handling, EML is usually easier to work with.
Why can’t I find the imported message in the folder I expected?
- Check whether the selected mailbox location, mailbox address, or cloud address was correct during import.
- Return to the related folder under the target mailbox and refresh the message list.
- If you still cannot find it, run the import again and confirm the destination carefully.
