Converting Outlook .msg files to .one files

Hello,
I am facing a few difficulties regarding the conversion of .msg files to .one files.
A colleague of mine is using around 200 .msg files which he could view on his phone but since that suddenly did not work, I am tasked with converting those .msg files to .one (or a file format that is compatible with OneNote).
I then encountered the possibility of converting .msg files to .pdf, but you can't edit .pdf files within OneNote (therefore requiring another conversion progress).
Also I'd like, if possible, to convert the .msg files in one large batch without having to click and convert every single one of them (could be done but would take a while though).
If there are any questions, feel free to ask!

Hi,
I haven't found a method to directly convert .msg file to .one files. However, as a workaround, we can try inserting these .msg files as printouts in OneNote notebook. To do this, click Insert tab > File Printout button, then, hold Ctrl key and select
all the .msg files you want to import into OneNote. Click Insert button.

Steve Fan

Hello Steve,
I have already converted the Outlook notes to .doc format with a third party tool (it was a big hassle but I am one step closer to importing them in OneNote).
At the moment, I'm importing the Outlook notes into OneNote which will take a while since there around 270 notes.
I'll keep you posted when it's done or I have tried something else.

Will I be able to get my (Mac sourced) songs and podcasts onto the IPOD from the sharing Windows computer?
No, iTunes library sharing only allows you to listen to music in the shared library.
Another question: is there any way to duplicate my actual song files to the Windows XP computer so that I don't have to turn on the Mac in order for itunes to function on the XP machine? All my song files are on the Mac.
Yes, use the network to copy the files from the Mac to the PC.

I need help creating PDF files from Outlook .msg files.

I am trying to create a single PDF file from a group of Outlook .msg files. I need the attachments to be preserved and I am hoping that the individual .msg messages will be separated / bookmarked.
I am trying to remove large quantities messages from my mailbox and store them elsewhere as a record of correspondence.

Try running Repair Disk on the external drive.
With the drive connected go to Applications / Utilities / Disk Utility and double click DU.
In the left column click to select the name of the external (the item indented to the right).
Click First Aid.
Click Repair Disk.
Unless you get a message the drive cannot be repaired, you should run Repair Disk again and again until you see green text saying the disk was repaired.
Quit DU.
If you get the message that the disk cannot be repaired, you will need a more powerful repair utility.

VBA check save Outlook .msg files

hello guys, how do i check saved msg file on a folder or network share via VBA and determine whether it is an Inbox item or a Sent Item?
Of course, can open the msg file and check whether its an inbox or a sent item.
But it's ideal only for a few outlook msg files.
Is there anyway to check save outlook mail files (.msg files) via VBA?
Like check if it is an inbox or receive msg file then put to receive folder and if it is a sent item put to sent folder.
Thank you.

Once you save an email to an .msg file you cannot determine what folder it originated from. However, you'd know it was a sent item by looking at the MailItem.SenderName or .SenderEmailAddress property IF you know the name of the sender.

Thanks Eric, that's sad to know.
Wish that there could be some flags or whatever property to check which folder it originates from.
Can we suggest this thing to MS? :)

Can't open Outlook msg files

Hi,
We are using Windows Phone with Nokia Lumia and we can't open outlook msg files.
From Desktop, we save Outlook messages into msg format in SharePoint libraries, but When I try to open this message using Internet Explorer with Nokia Lumina, it can't do it. Windows Phone can't open msg files.
It is this possible? Can't install Outlook client into Windows Phone? Exists any msg reader?
Thanks

Hello,
I am not really sure what that means?
Did you set it up manually on the sequencer, or did you create it manually on after monitoring?
Is whats captured the same thing as whats setup when its working?
Have you compared how it works on a manually setup client vs whats actually configured within your package?

How to convert Outlook PST files to Entourage MBOX

I am migrating over to mac after my windows system has been corrupted.
Luckily I had back-up of all my mails in a storage device. Outlook stored them as .pst files.
What I need to do now is take those .pst files and convert them to .mbox files for Entourage 2008.
I have gone through some steps reading online but the were of no use.
Please suggest some helpful solutions as i don't want to waste time blindly searching.
Thank you

An easy (and free) way to transfer email from Outlook (Windows) to Mail (Mac) is to use an IMAP account (e.g. Gmail) as an intermediary between the two. It's simple and reliable but can be a bit slow for large amounts of email. Expect over an hour per Gigabyte.
Enable IMAP on your email account.
In Windows, open Outlook and add your IMAP account.
Copy the folders (don't drag and drop them) from your PST file into your IMAP account. Drag and drop will move (not copy) your folders and you may lose mail if the communication is interrupted during the move.
On the Mac, open Mail and add your IMAP account.
If you want your mail stored on your Mac, you can copy it from your IMAP account to mailboxes created by selecting "On My Mac" as the location in the new mailbox dialog inside the Mail application.
Other alternative
You can also use the software approach to solve your problem.
Various softwares/applications/third party tools are available online.
One I am aware of is Pst Converter pro.
Hope this helps
thank you

.msg file format of outlook

Hello,
I'm looking for a solution to convert an e-mail from .eml format, to .msg file format. This format belong to outlook, and that's why it's very difficult to find informations.
So, does anabody could give me information about .msg file format ?
thank you so much

Actually, the outlook msg file format has nothing to do with RFC822. I wrote a library in pure java that will allow you to read/write this file format via the POI framework from the Apache Foundation.

Do you know how to modify the timestamp in a msg file which was saved from Outlook Inbox. The mail subject and body are able to be modified by selecting

Thanks,

Can't open .msg files more then once, saved or as an attachment to an email

we use :
microsoft xp & office/outlook 2003
can't open .msg files more then once, saved or as an attachment to an email
If we save an email as a outlook.msg file , we can only open it once, close it,
when trying to open it again it gives an error that it is not possible due to a scurity issue or it is already open.
After closing outlook and starting it again, we can open it once again.
Same when clicking an .msg that is attached to an email, but here we can switch to another email, go back to the one and open it again.
We have installed all updates for both xp and office 2003 also internet explorer 8.0 to test if that would work, normally we have ie7.0.

1 Translated from dutch as good as i know :
"Can't open : c:\test.msg, it might not exist, do you have the required permission to open the file or is it open in another application. Click
with the right mousebutton on the map click properties to view/check the rights for that map."
2 tried both, the network and locally, i have the rights to save it in the map and open it once, so thats not the problem, iseems that outlook locks the file after it is openen once.
3 security and ntfs permissions are ok, see 2
4 tried it from different pc's networks maps etc.
5 done.
6 in a pst file the msg can be openen ore than once, but thats not the problem, tried and this works, but i need to save an email as an .msg file.
7 addins removed and doen all of that part, didn't help.
We also have tried:
-Installing all updates and ie8
-going back to xp sp2 (fresh install of xp)
Only thing that did work was an msg file attached to an email, we couldn't open that more then once,
but after checking "Use exchange modus with cache" at the account properties we could open that more than once.
Now we need to be able to open the email's saved as .msg more then 1 time.

Index attachments in MSG files

I am trying to use Oracle Text to index and search msg files with attachments. For testing purposes, I have set up a table called TEST_DOCUMENTS. The table has two columns - a blob column containing the data to be indexed and a varchar2 column describing the data as follows:
Description - Test 1 - simple email no attachments
Blob - Outlook MSG file.
Description - Test 2 - an email including a PDF attachment
Blob - Outlook MSG file.
Description – Test 3 - an email including a Word attachment
Blob - Outlook MSG file.
Description – Test 4- a PDF document
Blob – Adobe PDF file.
Description – Test 5 - a Word document
Blob – Ms Word Doc file.
When I index the above using the following:
CREATE INDEX TEST_DOCUMENTS_IDX ON TEST_DOCUMENTS
(DATA_BLOB )
INDEXTYPE IS CTXSYS.CONTEXT PARAMETERS ('filter ctxsys.auto_filter');
And search using
Select description
from test_documents
where contains(data_blob,:’search string here’) > 0;
The email attachments are not included in the search, i.e., I can search the content of the emails but not the attachments. Note: Test 4 and Test 5 are the same as the attachments linked to Test 2 and Test 3. These are returned when the appropriate string is entered!
If I drop the index and create it as:
CREATE INDEX TEST_DOCUMENTS_IDX ON TEST_DOCUMENTS
(DATA_BLOB )
INDEXTYPE IS CTXSYS.CONTEXT PARAMETERS ('filter ctxsys.mail_filter');
I can search the email with the word attachment but not the body of the email. Test 2 with PDF attachment is not indexed. Test 4 and Test 5 as expected are not indexed as they are not email documents.
On checking the drmailfl.txt file I can see that the default behavior is as follows:
[behavior]
text          INCLUDE
application     IGNORE
application/msword AUTO_FILTER
image          IGNORE
audio          IGNORE
video          IGNORE
model          IGNORE
i.e., only process word attachments. However, if I add application/pdf to the file it makes no difference. The PDF attachment is not indexed.[ Note: each time I make a change I drop and recreate the index..] I even tried setting the behavior to ignore for everything! You would expect it to not index anything but it still indexed the word attachment! I tried shutting down the database and restarting it to see if it made any difference.
The documentation for Oracle 11g does imply that the ‘AUTO_FILTER’ should index the attachments, but I cannot get it to do it. Has anybody successfully indexed emails with PDF or Word attachments using either ‘AUTO_FILTER’ or ‘MAIL_FILTER’?

Hi James
Strictly speaking, you can't. The Workflow system has its own mechanism for handling attachments - they are attached via Form Manager's custom "attachment" user interface, rather than being attached "inside" the PDF.
You could get at these attachments, and attach them to your outbound email as regular attachments, rather than embedded within the PDF.
If you have a strong requirement to embed the attachments inside the PDF, there may be something we could do. Please email info-at-avoka.com if you want to discuss further.
