I am trying to convert a few MSG files for backup purposes. However, I also need the email attachments to stay intact after conversion. Can someone explain the proper steps to convert an MSG file with email attachments?

Using a third-party application is the best way to format an email with multiple attachments.

A few examples of such applications are TrustVare MSG Converter, suitable for converting MSG files into various formats such as PST, PDF, EML etc., including the attachments and the original email details of each file, and allowing for multiple conversions at once to reduce the risk of data loss.

Here are the steps you need to follow when converting your MSG files with attachments:

1. Download and launch the conversion software.

2. Select your MSG files by clicking Add Files or Add Folder.

3. If required, preview email messages (attachments included).

4. Specify your desired output format (PST, PDF, EML, MBOX, etc.).

5. Determine a destination for saving the converted files.

6. Once done, click Convert to begin the conversion process.

Using a quality application will provide assurance that your newly converted emails and attachments will have the same formatting/layout as the original emails prior to conversion, including all meta data. In addition, most quality applications will allow for batch conversions (multiple MSG files at the same time).

Most converter applications provide trial versions that allow you to test the conversion for a certain number of MSG files before determining whether or not you want to purchase the full version.
