Get data from .eml file (Outlook message)

[Anonymous]

Hi Everybody !

Can somedy tell me how to open an ".eml" file (outlook message format)  stored in a sharepoint folder ?

My source is defined as a Sharepoint folder.

When I try to combine my eml file (to load the content) all I can see is code (looks like to be the headers of the email).

Thanks for your time 🙂

In this case, you have to convert those EML files into PST format which formally supports MS Outlook by default. The conversion can be easily performed by using a trusted solution like GainTools EML to PST Converter.

Hi @Anonymous ,

Do you mean that you want to load the attatchments from outlook file in sharepoint folder? As far as I know, Power BI doesn't support us to load .msg format file directly.

I suggest you to try to connect to outlook by Microsoft Exchange connector which is supported by Power BI.

For reference:

Import Email Attachments Directly Into a Power BI Report using Power Query

Outlook .MSG as Data Source

How do I link Outlook 365 with Power BI?
