Sending them individually would take way too much time.
If you are just wanting to send a lot of email, why not use a program that is designed for that purpose…

Yes there’s a way…
Write a script to do it…
Importing them in what manner though? What exactly do you want to do with these ’emails’…
Get the content of the email and convert it to a post? .. if not, then what? …
Whatever you want to do, chances are theres a script about that could be modified to suit, you just need to be clear about what you want to do with the data.
Even if it means doing it in steps… for example..
1. Convert emails to format X (purely for example – html)
2. Convert HTML to XML
3. Import XML to wordpress..
It’s really a poor example because there’s no indication of what exactly you want to do with the email data. You could be talking purely about email addresses for all i know…
Please clarify further..
I need to convert the emails into posts within the blog. I have counted the emails and there is over 15,000 lol. Essentially I believe if I take the email title and maintain it as the post title along with taking the email body and maintaining it as the post body, all will be fine. I will look for scripts. If you know of any good programs or scripts already written, would you mind sharing please?
I don’t know of any, i was simply offering suggestions as to how i’d look at, and deal with the task..
Google for email to HTML convertors…
I’d say you’ll most likely need to do this in steps as i mentioned before…
Email > HTML > XML (or straight to WP via a script) …
I can’t say i’ve ever seen any such script written to date, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t one…
Me personally i’d aim for converting to HTML, then write some custom PHP to convert that data to posts… (as nice as i am, i’m not volunteering to write this one)..
No problem, thanks for your advice! I will look into it.
