What is a MSG File?

A MSG file is a file format used by Microsoft Outlook and Exchange to store email messages, contact information, appointments, or other tasks. These files are primarily used to store individual email messages, and when you save an email from Outlook, it is typically saved in this format. MSG files can contain various elements of an email, including sender and recipient information, subject, body text, attachments, and metadata like timestamps.

MSG files are compatible with Microsoft Outlook and can be opened directly within the application. However, other email clients or software may require additional tools or converters to open these files. The MSG file format is based on the Compound File Binary Format (CFBF), a proprietary Microsoft format used to store complex data structures.

These files are often used for archiving emails, transferring emails between systems, or sharing emails with others who use Outlook. If you need to work with MSG files outside of Outlook, there are various third-party tools and libraries available that can read and convert MSG files to other formats.
