MSG Document Format MSG Converter
The MSG file format was developed by Microsoft for its Outlook email program. Microsoft Outlook can be accessed online with internet browsers, or through software applications, which are available for all the main operating systems. MSG files can be opened within Outlook, but also with other some other applications.
MSG is short for ‘message’, which is what the files are. However, as well as email messages, Outlook will also save contact and calendar items into MSG format. Like the EML format, MSG email files include a header with the email subject, the sender and receiver, and the date and time the email was sent, as well as the body of the message. The files can also include email attachments. Contact files from Outlook that are saved/exported into MSG format would include whatever contact information had been entered, while calendar items would include the time, date and location of the meeting or diary item, plus any extra information.

EML Document Format EML Converter
EML is one of the most common file formats for email messages. It was developed by Microsoft. EML files include the plain text of the message and subject line, along with details of who sent and received the message, and the date and time it was sent. If the sender included attachments with the email, these are also saved within the file, increasing the total size.
Not all email clients use the same format for saving message files. However, Microsoft Outlook Express, Mozilla Thunderbird and Lotus Notes are all examples of email clients that save into EML. Even if you use a different email client, you can usually use that program to open EML files if they’ve been sent as an attachment. You can also usually open EML files with web browsers, and sometimes they will open in plain text editors like Notepad or Apple TextEdit.

MSG and EML are both file formats for emails, but they’re not the same. MSG is the format used by Microsoft for Outlook messages, and EML is the format used by most other email programs.

To use Zamzar’s online tool, simply upload your .MSG file, select .EML or another format to convert it into, and then download the new file when ready.
