In the Windows world at work - there are some files which are actually eMails in Outlook on Windows Vista and Windows 7 machines. But when I take the individual file.msg and try to open it, nothing. (If I change.msg to.txt I can see some of the message, but lots of garbage, too. I have OUTLOOK on a 30 day trial (with MS Office 2011) - but can't seem to open the message with that either - it goes into the attachments area and won't open. What can I do to read these messages? I have an entire folder of them and it would be nice to be able to read them on my Mac instead of going back to the office windows machine. (When I double-click on these files when on a Windows Vista computer with MS Office 2007 and Outlook installed, it just opens Outlook and the message is there.

Configure Outlook MSG Viewer to your liking, with advanced options for power users. You may want to check out more software for Mac, such as MSG Viewer for Outlook, OutlookMsg Viewer or Outlook Mac Database Recovery, which might be related to Outlook MSG Viewer. But, there is a simple manual method that can help a user to open MSG files without MS Outlook. A user needs to rename the file with.msg extension to.html extension. It is easy to open and access the email in a browser in the same way.
But on my Mac, it opens a new message in Outlook for Mac and then puts this entire message in the attached document area). Thanks for any comments! Best regards, Steve Schulte Thursday 17 February 2011. With help from the 2 replies, I found this: While you can trial it to see if it can open your.msg file; to really take advantage of the power of this program.OutlookMSG Viewer., you need to invest the $7.95 - then you have full formatted text in a MAIL message (which you can save or not in your INbox or other MAILbox) - plus full attachments - it is JUST SUPER!!! If this helps you to open just one critical Outlook.msg message then it pays for itself immediately. Batch translating etc. works perfectly - is the parent company's main website - you have to search a bit to find out just how to pay for it - but that is very fine once you find it - super fast, receipt, invoice, manual on-line (which I copied in pdf to my OutlookMSG Viewer Folder.
Thanks for the fast replies - I thought I'd never read these files- but now PERFECT Best regards, Steve Schulte Sunday 20 February 2011. To add to this thread as this could be useful to some. So I have multiple boxes running various versions of OS X and this is relevant for those using Yosemite OS X 10.10.5 (14F1021) and Microsoft Office 2011 version 14.5.7 (151005) on which I had issue opening.msg files. My resolution was updating my java to use jdk-8u65-macosx-x64 and installing MSGViewer-1.9 which now enables me on that box to view these type of messages in original format (does include any attachements or imbedded files or images).
