Reading Microsoft .msg Files on a Mac

December 15, 2008 4:49 PM

I've got a bunch of (important) single .msg files that I want to read on my Mac (10.5.x). Any advice? Any tool that converts entire mailboxes doesn't seem to apply, and the only dedicated .msg reader I could find is broken. Renaming as .txt doesn't work either. Help!

Moving from PC Outlook to Apple Mail: seems like importing them into Thunderbird is the easiest way.
