Hi is it possible to use your tool from the commandline to convert all .msg in a folder to .eml? Would it be possible for this to be implemented? Thanks!

    Yes it is possible. In the Linux shell, type :
    java -jar MSGViewer.jar -msg2eml /home/toto/mails/*.msg
    Shell expansion will do the trick.

    Is it possible to do this using the Terminal in Mac OS X?

    MSGViewer fails to convert .msg email to either .mbox or *.eml on OS X High Sierra. This is an issue for both the SourceForge MSGViewer.jar as well as the NetBean build described in “howto_build_msgviewer.odt”. The MSGViewer.jar used below was complied using NetBeans/howto_build_msgviewer.odt SVN. This would be a useful tool for converting msg2mbox, any insight in to getting this working would be appreciated especially the cmdline tool…

    1. MSGViewer cmd line mail format conversion fails with the following error:

    1. Opening a *.msg file in the GUI and then saving it back to a .msg works, saved as text. Saving the same file to .mbox or .eml fails with the following error messages, respectively:

      Hi David and thanks for your feedback.
      You may find this fork of the project a little more active : https://github.com/lolo101/MsgViewer
      I suggest you get a try with version 1.2.0
      That said, I think you found a bug that is still present on 1.2.0.
      I've permitted myself to copy a part of your message in a new issue : https://github.com/lolo101/MsgViewer/issues/3
