Extract text from IncrediMail header files (IMH)
To convert IMH header files to another format, you need IncrediMail or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Email Metadata Cache" file type, you need software like IncrediMail or a similar tool.
The .IMH file is a proprietary IncrediMail Header file used by the now-defunct IncrediMail client. Acting as an index or "Table of Contents," it stores essential metadata - such as the Sender, Subject, Date, and Priority - for emails stored in the accompanying IMM (Message Store) files.
Users typically encounter this file when attempting to recover old email archives after IncrediMail's servers shut down in March 2020. A common source of frustration is discovering that the .IMH file contains no email body text - it is strictly a pointer file. Without the corresponding IMM or IMB files, an .IMH cannot be converted into a readable email message. However, if you possess the complete data set, specialized forensic tools can migrate these files to Microsoft Outlook PST or standard EML formats. For users with only the .IMH file, the best practical conversion is to TXT or CSV to catalog the metadata logs.
Convert.Guru analyzes your IMH file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
