Why do Users want MSG files into Apple Mail?<\/h2>\n
There are general and individual reasons that motivate the user to switch their email client, for instance, Outlook to Apple Mail. Some major reasons are discussed here to understand the requirement of users.<\/p>\n
- \n
- Deletion of Outlook account<\/strong> \u2013 As we know MSG files can only be accessible on the authentic configured Outlook account. If the user has quit Outlook then there is no direct method available through which the user can access the MSG files.<\/li>\n
- Upgrading Operating system<\/strong> \u2013 Office 365 and Windows OS go hand in hand. Outlook comes along with Office 365 suite. When a user wants to upgrade his Operating system, for example, Windows to Mac OS. At that time users have to import MSG files to Apple Mail application.<\/li>\n
- Office 365 subscription expiration<\/strong> \u2013 For users who are headed to leave Office 365, chances are less that they will keep up with Outlook email clients. In that scenario, they search for another email client such as Apple Mail.
\nThere are so many reasons which encourage the user to import MSG to Apple Mail application.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nNow the question arises, which method is suitable to accomplish this delicate task? MSG to MBOX Converter is the perfect solution for all of the above-mentioned situations.<\/p>\n

Workarounds to Import MSG to Apple Mail<\/h2>\n
Technique I – Manual Method (Not Recommended)<\/h3>\n
No legitimate manual method is there to transfer MSG files to MBOX format. Neither Outlook nor Apple Mail has provided a full-proof functionality to import MSG files to Apple Mail.<\/p>\n
This manual method is nothing but just a temporary solution that does not provide any sort of assurance for data integrity. If you still want to go for it, we advise you to keep the backup of MSG files. So, in case of MSG files corruptions, you still have the files in a healthy state.<\/p>\n
Procedure \u2013<\/strong> Choose the MSG files that you want to import as MBOX. Slowly double click it, now you can rename it. Change its extension for .msg to .mbox.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Try to open it with the Apple Mail application. Or set Apple Mail as a default application.<\/p>\n
Loophole \u2013<\/strong> As we have discussed earlier no matter if you have changed the extension, chances are less that Apple Mail will support this file. Because the format is still the same when you try to open Outlook Message files. Either email files will be unreadable for us or they will appear blank.<\/p>\n
Technique II – Reliable Method (Maintains Data Integrity)<\/h3>\n
Convert MSG Outlook files to MBOX format<\/h3>\n
Instead, you can try the reliable MSG Converter utility that will convert the MSG files into MBOX format by maintaining the data integrity and meta-properties intact. Here are the three steps to turn transfer MSG files directly into MBOX format.<\/p>\n
Step 1<\/strong>. Firstly, launch the utility on the Mac system.<\/p>\n
