Can thunderbird mail access eml file

Thunderbird, a popular email client, can indeed access and read EML files, which are email files in a plain text format.

Here are a few ways to access EML files in Thunderbird:

1. Drag and Drop: Simply drag the EML file from your file explorer and drop it into Thunderbird's inbox or a folder you've created. Thunderbird will automatically import the email and add it to your mailbox.
2. File > Open: Go to File > Open and select the EML file from your file explorer. Thunderbird will open the email in a new window, allowing you to read and respond to it as you would any other email.
3. Import: You can also import multiple EML files at once by going to File > Import > Import Mail... and selecting the EML files you want to import. Thunderbird will add the emails to your mailbox.
4. Add-on: If you want to access EML files more easily, you can install the "EML Viewer" add-on from the Thunderbird Add-ons website. This add-on allows you to view EML files directly in Thunderbird without having to import them.

Once you've accessed an EML file in Thunderbird, you can read the email, respond to it, and even forward it to others.
