I have received a .msg file as an attachment from a coworker. I am using OS X and there are no default programs to open the file. Does anyone know how I can open a .msg file on my Mac?

          I can recommend the free Java program MSG Viewer, available from Sourceforge.




          Msg Viewer is an e-mail-viewer utility for msg e-mail messages,
          implemented in pure Java. It works on Windows/Linux/Mac
          platforms. It also provides a Java API to read msg files
          programmatically.

            Please read How do I recommend software for some tips as to how you should go about recommending software. At the very least you should provide more than just a link, for example some additional information about the software itself, for example how it can be used to solve the problem in the question.

          • Thank you. I tried it, and even if not perfect, it worked good enough for when I had to open a .msg file.

          MailRaider is a program that should be able to read those files just fine. It's available for $1.99 on the App Store. It used to be free, so you might find old versions somewhere.




          Are you a Switcher? Have you got old e-mails archived somewhere? Have you ever wished that your Mac could read your old Microsoft™ Outlook .msg files? If so, MailRaider could be just what you need.






          It should be able to read the files and even save attachments.



          Here's a caveat about files that don't originate from Outlook:




          Sadly, there are many other programs out there which use the .msg file extension. If
          your .msg file wasn’t written by Microsoft Outlook then MailRaider won’t be able to read it.
          If you’re able to open the content in an editor like TextEdit then it may be that the file will
          open happily in Apple Mail if you just change the extension to .eml.




          Other applications you could try are Outlook MSG Viewer (only a free trial) and Klammer (also not free).

          There is a free tool online called MessageViewer Online provided by a company named Encryptomatic which seems to work OK: https://www.encryptomatic.com/viewer/



          I used it successfully a single time in October 2016. You click the button "Choose file" and then click the button "View".

            This is a SaaS product, so if it goes online it's likely to be gone. But that doesn't make it invalid, of course. I really don't think a description really provides much, if any, value in this case (the company's name is in the URL), but I added something anyway. If it was either of you who voted to delete the answer (rather than, say, editing it), then I'm ashamed and embarrassed for you on your behalf, as Stackexchange is about community-driven solutions. If you feel strongly, edit answers rather than deleting.

          If you're a Mac user with an Exchange account at your business, or Outlook.com (or whatever they call it these days) account online, the easiest thing to do is probably send yourself a message with the .msg file attached to it. In your webmail interface, you can view that attachment as a message.

            MailRaider Pro works well - it costs a small amount, but you can get it on the app store or on the 45RPMSoftware website. The version on the 45RPMSoftware website also works as a demo (it won't open your entire email, and it won't extract all your attachments til you've paid for it.)



            The developer is very helpful, responding quickly to emails (but the help forum on the website doesn't seem to work at the moment).

              your .msg file wasn’t written by Microsoft Outlook then MailRaider won’t be able to read it.
              If you’re able to open the content in an editor like TextEdit then it may be that the file will
              open happily in Apple Mail if you just change the extension to .eml.




              Other applications you could try are Outlook MSG Viewer (only a free trial) and Klammer (also not free).

              Outlook for Mac unfortunately cannot read these messages, it seems.



              MailRaider is a program that should be able to read those files just fine. It's available for $1.99 on the App Store. It used to be free, so you might find old versions somewhere.




              Are you a Switcher? Have you got old e-mails archived somewhere? Have you ever wished that your Mac could read your old Microsoft™ Outlook .msg files? If so, MailRaider could be just what you need.






              It should be able to read the files and even save attachments.



              Here's a caveat about files that don't originate from Outlook:




              Sadly, there are many other programs out there which use the .msg file extension. If
              your .msg file wasn’t written by Microsoft Outlook then MailRaider won’t be able to read it.
              If you’re able to open the content in an editor like TextEdit then it may be that the file will
              open happily in Apple Mail if you just change the extension to .eml.

              There is a free tool online called MessageViewer Online provided by a company named Encryptomatic which seems to work OK: https://www.encryptomatic.com/viewer/



              I used it successfully a single time in October 2016. You click the button "Choose file" and then click the button "View".

                This is a SaaS product, so if it goes online it's likely to be gone. But that doesn't make it invalid, of course. I really don't think a description really provides much, if any, value in this case (the company's name is in the URL), but I added something anyway. If it was either of you who voted to delete the answer (rather than, say, editing it), then I'm ashamed and embarrassed for you on your behalf, as Stackexchange is about community-driven solutions. If you feel strongly, edit answers rather than deleting.

              If you're a Mac user with an Exchange account at your business, or Outlook.com (or whatever they call it these days) account online, the easiest thing to do is probably send yourself a message with the .msg file attached to it. In your webmail interface, you can view that attachment as a message.

                      MailRaider Pro works well - it costs a small amount, but you can get it on the app store or on the 45RPMSoftware website. The version on the 45RPMSoftware website also works as a demo (it won't open your entire email, and it won't extract all your attachments til you've paid for it.)



                      The developer is very helpful, responding quickly to emails (but the help forum on the website doesn't seem to work at the moment).

                          MailRaider Pro works well - it costs a small amount, but you can get it on the app store or on the 45RPMSoftware website. The version on the 45RPMSoftware website also works as a demo (it won't open your entire email, and it won't extract all your attachments til you've paid for it.)



                          The developer is very helpful, responding quickly to emails (but the help forum on the website doesn't seem to work at the moment).
