There's no way to do this directly in WebMail. If you're using IMAP in Thunderbird, you can upload those mails to server and then sync the account with WebMail.

I have the same situation. I have a collection of emails in .eml format going back many years. Now, I can get them into Webmail by adding references to them to the database manually, but holy ****, there are thousands of them, and it would take a lifetime. Is there a simple script that will import .eml files into Webmail's database? In theory, I think I should be able to copy the .eml files into the data folder, and either run a script that adds all of the new .eml files into the database, or just wipes out all of the user's database entries and rebuilds the database from scratch based on the contents of the data folder. Such a script should also be useful for recovering from a corrupted database too. Is there anything like that?

No IMAP.

Sorry but nothing has really changed since my previous response, there's no such script available. You can
develop one yourself though, that'll require studying how database and file system is used to keep the
information on messages downloaded over POP3.

Reading through the forums, this seems to be a very popular issue, and no wonder, because it's a critical one to a lot of people (including me). I don't know enough about these things to take a crack at it, but maybe someone else reading this could? Webmail already reads, writes, and deletes .eml files to the file system, and reads, writes, and deletes corresponding entries in mySQL, so it seems to me that all the pieces are already there. Someone just needs to consolidate them into the appropriate sequence. There shouldn't be a lot of distance to a "rebuild database" button within Webmail itself.
