You can download the Microsoft Outlook 2007 post service pack to solve the above problem.

Can you suggest me any manual method?

Here is the manual method: nstart the Registry Editorn Locate the subkey HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT/Microsoft Internet Mail Message/shell/open/commandnRight click to Modifyn Enter the following code: n%ProgramFiles%/Microsoft Office/Office12/Outlook. exe /EML "%1"nOn the File menu, click Exit to quit Registry Editorn

What you can also do is follow below steps: nnDrag email from the. EML folder and drop them to Inbox wait for the process to get finishednnrepeat the same to done with all the foldersnnopen Microsoft Outlook 2007/2010, file, and Import Files. nIts the only easiest process to convert the. EML to. PST.

This does not work. Is there any other way?

You can try various EML to PST converter. This is one of them its trustable, I'm pretty sure that it will help you to move EML from hardrive to Outlook.

Thank you this was really simple to perform.
