Mozilla Thunderbird<\/a> is a free and open-source email client used for both private and professional use. It saves each of its folder data in an MBOX file<\/a>. This MBOX file contains all the emails and attachments of the Thunderbird folder having the same name as the file. Example \u2013 Inbox MBOX file contains emails of Inbox folder. However, it also supports saving each email message into individual EML files. A user can save the emails as per their requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But, the world is not limited to just these two email\nformats. Sometimes users wish to export Thunderbird messages into other file\nformats such as MSG file. But, without the proper knowledge of the technical\naspects of file conversion, it results in data loss. To avoid such situations,\nhere, we are going to provide you with a proper method to export Thunderbird to\nMSG files.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let us understand this with help of user query<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHello, I have been using Mozilla Thunderbird for the last 4 years of my professional career. Recently joined a firm that uses MS Outlook<\/a> for email and event management. As\u00a0 a result I have to make the switch to Outlook as well. I wish to convert my current emails residing in Thunderbird into a readable format of Outlook. I heard MSG files are compatible with Outlook. Can I get some way to export Thunderbird to MSG? Any tips would be highly appreciated.\u201d <\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn my line of work, I need to dish out mailbox files to my clients on a regular basis. For most part, MBOX and EML files are sufficient for the job. However, sometimes people want the data in MSG files which poses a challenge for a Thunderbird user like me. I cannot get around this matter anymore and would really like to get a way to convert emails into MSG files.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

It is clear from the user queries that there is a need for exporting Thunderbird emails into MSG files. Now, let us move onto the topic as to how to generate MSG files from Thunderbird and get to know the technical aspects of such conversion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Can Thunderbird Export to MSG Files?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Let us make it clear that Mozilla Thunderbird does not support\nMSG files. It can export the emails in MBOX file or EML file. With a free\nadd-on, we can even get email messages in some other formats such as PDF, HTML\nand CSV. But there is no way of getting MSG files.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As far as MSG is concerned, it is the proprietary format of\nOutlook. A single MSG file stores an individual email message of Outlook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Due to the lack of any native options, certain software applications are used for Thunderbird to MSG conversion. We will recommend SysTools Thunderbird Converter<\/a><\/strong> for this task as it is a powerful utility to batch convert Thunderbird files into MSG format. It can automatically fetch the Thunderbird database from the system without any manual intervention. It also allows adding of MBOX files as per user requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
