MSG Viewer for Outlook
Business
Only for Mac
Free · In-App Purchases
Looking to open those frustrating Microsoft Outlook MSG, OFT, and Winmail.dat files on your Mac? We've got you covered.
MSG files are often generated by the PC version of Microsoft Outlook. This proprietary format is easily read on other PCs, but it is unrecognisable on Macs - even if you are using Microsoft Outlook for Mac or Apple Mail. MSG Viewer for Outlook works like magic by converting the unrecognisable format into the email that your friend or coworker intended to send you - and it all happens in a split second.
With this easy-to-use program, you'll be able to open all of those MSG files seamlessly in your favourite Mac email clients. Batch processing and conversion of Outlook MSG contacts (.vcf) is also supported.
The free version only converts selected portions of the MSG file. The licensed version (available via in-app purchase) activates all features, including complete conversion of MSG files and batch processing.
