Q – I have got around 100 MSG files from one of my friends. He has sent me some important emails and attachments sent by our institute teacher. I want to view them but I don’t have Outlook installed on my system. Is there any solution available to view MSG files without Outlook or I have to install Outlook to my system?

Presley

No, there is no need to install MS Outlook application. You can simply go for online solutions that will help you to view MSG files.

I have a suggestion for you. You can manually perform the task by converting the file into HTML format and then it can be viewed on any of the browsers like Google Chrome, Opera, Mozilla Thunderbird etc.

In my opinion, there is no manual method available that can help you to view MSG files. So, you can search Google for the professional solutions.

There would be two cases –

  • When the user has Outlook
  • When the user doesn’t have Outlook
    • In the first case, there is no issue. Just import MSG files to MS Outlook and you can simply view them.
    • In the second case, you can rename your .msg file to .html format and can simply view them to your internet browser.
