man msgconvert (1): Convert Outlook .msg files to mbox format

SYNOPSIS

msgconvert [options] <file.msg>...

Options:
--mbox <file> deliver messages to mbox file <file>
--verbose be verbose
--help help message

OPTIONS

--mbox

    Deliver to the given mbox file instead of creating individual .eml
    files.

--verbose

    Print information about skipped parts of the .msg file.

--help

    Print a brief help message.

DESCRIPTION

This program will convert the messages contained in the Microsoft Outlook files <file.msg>... to message/rfc822 files with extension .eml. Alternatively, if the --mbox option is present, all messages will be put in the given mbox file. This program will complain about unrecognized OLE parts in the input files on stderr.

BUGS

The program will not check whether output files already exist. Also, if you feed it ``foo.MSG'' and ``foo.msg'', you'll end up with one ``foo.eml'', containing one of the messages.

Not all data that's in the .MSG file is converted. There simply are some parts whose meaning escapes me. One of these must contain the date the message was sent, for example. Formatting of text messages will also be lost. YMMV.
