Convert MSG to EML in 5 Steps
Five screens lead from the first click to your finished EML files. Select a step tab to open its screen. Software Guide holds the full walkthrough.
Step 1. Install and Select Your Language
Install the software after the download and open it from All Programs. Select your language from the Select Language drop down. The list holds 20 languages, from English and French to Japanese and Thai.
Step 2. Add MSG Files or a Folder
Browse to the folder that contains your MSG files and select it. Folders load with their MSG files, so a large archive needs one selection.
Step 3. Preview Your Messages
Select a message to open it in the preview panel. Switch between Normal Mail View, Hex, Properties, Message Header, MIME and HTML views. Use Switch View for a horizontal or vertical layout.
Step 4. Click Export or Export Selected
Click Export to convert every loaded file. Click Export Selected to convert only the files you ticked in the file list.
Step 5. Select EML and Export
Select EML from the target formats. Open Adv Settings to apply the naming convention and the date filter, browse to the destination folder and click Export. Your EML files land in that folder with the source folder structure.
Free demo, no licence needed. Preview every message and convert 10 items in a folder.

Why Outlook Cannot Export MSG Files to EML
Four points from Microsoft’s own pages, then what PCVITA software does instead.
- 1
One MSG File Holds One Item
Microsoft’s file format specification defines a .msg file as one Outlook item, a message, appointment, contact or task. Hundreds of messages mean hundreds of files. PCVITA software loads the full folder in one job.
- 2
Outlook Lists No EML Save Type
Microsoft’s Outlook reference lists 11 save types, among them .txt, .rtf, .oft, .msg, .doc, .html, .vcf, .vcs, .ics and .mht. EML is missing from that list. PCVITA converter writes EML files directly.
- 3
The Nearest Format is MHT
Microsoft’s list names MIME HTML (.mht) as its MIME based option. MHT is a different file type from EML, so mail clients that expect EML need the converted files.
- 4
Outlook Saves One Item at a Time
Microsoft’s example saves one mail item to one file. PCVITA converter adds batch export, naming conventions and a date filter to that job.
Prepare Your MSG Files Before You Export to EML
Six checks come before the first job. Tick them off, then launch the software.
- Copy your MSG folder to a safe place, so source files stay untouched while you test settings.
- Check for Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5 or above on your Windows machine. Free disk space of 100 MB and 4 GB RAM complete the list.
- Launch the software with Run as Administrator on Windows.
- Decide the naming convention and the date range you need, from Subject to Subject plus Date.
- Mac users install Java JDK 1.8.0 and JRE 8 first, then set system region to United States and language to English.
- Test the demo on a small folder before you buy. Download the MSG to EML Converter demo, preview your messages and convert 10 items in a folder.
System lines follow the Specifications table and the Outlook lines follow the Microsoft pages in the Sources.

Outlook Save Types or a Converter for Your Job
- One message in a format Outlook lists saves fine with Save As. MSG, HTML or text need no extra software.
- EML files from a folder of MSG files need a converter, because Microsoft’s save list holds no EML type.
- Naming rules and date ranges live in Adv Settings, so no Save dialog is needed.
- Attachments and headers stay with every message in the PCVITA export.
- Mac users need the separate Mac edition, because Microsoft’s reference covers Outlook itself.
Adv Settings screens sit in the Software Guide. The page for the MSG Converter covers other formats.
