Converting .msg files

05. October 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: ,
I have been given a disk with hundreds of important e-mail messages all in .msg format which won't open on my iMac even though I have Office 2011 installed and use Outlook as my email client.
I downloaded the trial version of Outlook MSG Viewer which I had seen recommended by many people and intended to buy it if successful. However it could not open the files, claiming they were read-only. Now I can't uninstall this program or get the icon out of the Dock!
There must be a simple way to convert these files; I really need a program that will convert them all en masse.
Any suggestions?
