Import Emails
In NICeMail, you can import emails, with every single email in the standard EML format, zipped together into .ZIP archives.
Import Emails
If you have your emails as EML files, you can use the EML import. If the emails are stored locally on your system, you can import them using this method, and access them from your NICeMail account. You can create. ZIP files with multiple .EML files and import them to NICeMail. The maximum ZIP file size that can be imported to NICeMail is 500 MB. In case you have. For EML files that are larger in size, then we recommend you split the EMLs into multiple ZIP files of size 500 MB or lesser. You can also choose a destination folder in NICeMail, to which you want these emails to be imported.

- If you choose the Import under the chosen folder option, all the emails in your file will get imported to the selected folder, irrespective of the email structure in your .ZIP file.
- In case you want the exact folder structure in your .ZIP file to get replicated under a specific folder, check the Retain folder structure in the zip file check box. Click Browse, choose the folder under which you want the folder structure, and click Ok.

Note:
