Starting with version 10.x of ePADD, Emailchemy conversion options have been integrated as an optional add-on, so that ePADD can import and export a larger variety of email file formats. ePADD is free, but Emailchemy is not, so you will need to buy a license key from Weird Kid Software to enable these features in ePADD.
Purchase an Emailchemy License Key (optional)
ePADD includes some features of Emailchemy as an optional add-on, so that ePADD can import many more email file formats besides MBOX. ePADD is free, but Emailchemy is not, so you will have to buy a license key from Weird Kid Software.
The cost of a license key is $150 for the first year and $99 in each subsequent year. Each license enables you to create a single license dongle, which you can use to enable Emailchemy’s converters in ePADD. The license dongle is portable and can be shared across several computers (though only one at a time).
...

- Scroll down to the Download the Emailchemy Dongle section.
- Download and run the appropriate EDEC file (Windows, Mac, or Linux).
- Enter this information in the EDEC tool:
Name: [Your name]
Key: [The license key] - Click the Activate button.
- After confirming your license key, EDEC will walk you through the steps of installing your license key on a USB thumb drive to use as a license dongle. The computer used to create the license dongle must be connected to the Internet, and each key you purchase may only be installed on one dongle.
- Insert the dongle in the computer on which ePADD will be used. Then start ePADD.
