Once the file open in Outlook, use “Save as” button to permanently save EML file in Outlook. Otherwise you can use “Move to Folder” command to save the EML file in desirable folder.
Method 2: Native Import Script (Slow)
This method take help of built-in Windows and Outlook scripting abilities to open individual EML file and save it in folder of your choice. However this method is considered as slows one because Outlook can only do something when EML files are opened visually. There is a Sleep statement of 1 milliseconds in the script. If your computer is slow then you need to boost this value to efficiently open EML files in Outlook.
Note: Make Sure Outlook is set as default email client to open EML files on your PC before running the script.
