Email files

Emails can be saved in various formats; the most common formats are:

• MSG (Microsoft Outlook message format)
• EML (RFC-822 or MIME)

The files can be part of a zip file or can be located in a complicated folder structure.

Note: The EML format usually contains less information than the MSG format. The conversion from MSG to EML will lose user specific properties (like category, follow up flag,…) in the mail.
