    Read Outlook Messages Outside of Outlook


    I have many, many Outlook messages on my HD that I stored in .msg format. I am about to set up an old laptop that will not have Outlook on but will have those stored messages either on it or accessible on a USB device.

    Is there a piece of software around that will let me read those messages? I've tried to do it with Thunderbird but can't find a way just to read individual, stored outside of Outlook's pst files, messages.

    Thank you.

    If the laptop contains windows xp, install outlook express for free. That will import .msg files.

    Hi,

    I've seen a few reviews of this. My understanding is that it is Java-based, so you will need to have taht installed.
