You can import emails to Hostinger Email in two ways: upload a backup file in EML, MIME, or Mbox format through the old Webmail, or import directly from another mailbox, including another Hostinger Email account, using the new Webmail.<\/p>

Import from a file<\/h2>

If you have a backup of your emails as .eml files, you can import them directly through Webmail. Pack multiple .eml files into a single .zip archive to import them together.<\/p>

    \n
  1. Log in to Webmail.<\/a><\/li>\n
  2. Go to Settings<\/strong>, then Email Import<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
  3. Click Import emails.
    \n\"\"
    \n<\/strong><\/li>\n
  4. Then select From a file<\/strong>.
    \n\"\"<\/li>\n
  5. Upload one .eml message, or a .zip archive containing up to 100 .eml files.
    \n\"\"<\/li>\n
  6. Choose where the imported messages should land: the Inbox<\/strong>, an existing folder<\/strong>, or a new folder<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
  7. Click Import<\/strong>.
    \n\"\"<\/li>\n<\/ol>

    The import runs in the background. Once it completes, a confirmation screen shows how many emails were imported, with a link to open the destination folder directly.<\/p>
