A Look at MSG and Thunderbird

A MSG file is a special type of Outlook email file that is made by dragging and dropping things in MS Outlook. It contains the content of each email message/ including the sender/ recipient/ body of the message/ attachments/ and more. Because of encryption, it is hard to open MSG files in different email clients.

Thunderbird on the other hand is a free and flexible email client that lets you manage more than one email account. Thunderbird is known for being flexible, responsive and having a lot of extra capabilities that let users manage several email accounts from one desktop. It also has a lot of free advanced features.

Manually Export MSG File to Thunderbird

There is no clear way to export MSG files to Thunderbird. There are two steps to the workaround conversion. First, MSG files are converted into TXT files, and then TXT files are changed into EML files. Lastly, you can easily open the EML files with Thunderbird.

The Major Drawback of the Manual Method

• Time-Consuming Process - When dealing with multiple MSG files, importing them one by one into Thunderbird becomes very slow and tedious. Manual steps are not for large volumes of emails.
• Risk of Data Loss - Attachments, metadata like To/ Cc/ Bcc/ or even email formatting can sometimes get lost or altered during the manual conversion process.
• Limited Batch Conversion - The manual approach does not allow bulk migration. Handling thousands of MSG files one by one is impractical, especially for professional environments.
