Tools Faq's

1. What is an MSG file and how can I open it after conversion?

An MSG file is Outlook's standalone email message format. After conversion, each email is saved as its own .msg file with attachments and formatting. Double-click to open in Outlook, or drag-and-drop into an Outlook folder for sharing, archiving, or handoff.

2. Do I need to install Microsoft Outlook on my computer to convert PST to MSG?

No. It is a standalone converter — Outlook does not need to be installed. Temp Copy mode can even read a PST while Outlook still has the file open.

3. Will the tool preserve email attachments, rich-text formatting, and inline images in MSG files?

Yes. Attachments and formatting stay intact — Plain Text, RTF, and HTML — so the MSG files remain usable for sharing and archiving.

4. Does this software provide file naming convention options to organize the exported MSG files?

Yes. On the MSG export Options tab you can name files by Subject, Date, From, or combinations so large exports stay easy to sort.

5. Does the converter support both ANSI and UNICODE Outlook PST file formats?

Yes. Older ANSI PST and modern UNICODE PST from Outlook 2024, 2021, 2019, 2016, 2013, and earlier supported builds all work.

6. Can I convert password-protected, encrypted, or orphaned PST files to MSG?

Yes. Enter the correct password when asked. Recovery / Deep Scan helps with damaged stores. Orphaned and archive PST files work without an active Outlook profile.

7. Can I batch convert multiple PST files to MSG format simultaneously?

Yes. Use File Mode to pick several PST files, or Folder Mode to load every PST in a folder (and subfolders), then export to MSG with your options.

8. What are the limitations of the free demo version of PST to MSG Converter?

The free demo converts and exports the first 10 items to MSG so you can try the workflow. Full license unlocks unlimited conversion from $29. Available on Windows, Mac, and Linux.
