Hello Rafael,

It is not possible with MS Outlook Email VBO, as far as I know (although I could be wrong). The VBO is only able to read .msg files. What I would do is find a way to convert that .eml file to an .msg file and then use the 'Read from MSG' action that the VBO provides. There are some third-party tools/libraries available that offer this functionality, but I can't recommend any since I haven't used any yet.

Regards

Hi Rafael,

Check the solution from user Björn Reinke and if it helps you with the problem you are facing, I faced this problem a few years ago:
