Microsoft Outlook is a great email client, but getting you email messages out of Outlook has never been very easy. The MessageExport add-in makes exporting email messages much easier.

In this tutorial we will show you how to export an entire Outlook email folder to your Windows desktop.  The messages will be converted into .msg files, which are invidual Microsoft Outlook email messages. Each .msg file contains a message and all meta data associated with that email, as well as file attachments.
