Hello All,

I am testing out whether our small business will be better served by Thunderbiord than Outlook. We save Outlook emails (.msg files) to folders all day. I don't mind using .eml files created by Thunderbird going forward, buty I need to be able open .msg files.

Is there a way to open .msg files in Thunderbird?

Thanks! Daniel

You could also try installing TB 17 and running the import wizard to import from Outlook.
