Read Outlook Messages Outside of Outlook

[jsquareg]

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.

I heard windows live mail can work too , with a little fidling around, ill try find the post about it, using my mobile now.

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.
