MessageExport Add-on for Microsoft Outlook Transforms e-Mail Improves Office Worker Productivity

 

Enabling automatic e-Mail export, MessageExport performs tedious and redundant conversion tasks in single click, and easy customization make MessageExport a favorite tool set among legal and government industry workers.

---

Fargo, ND. (January 16, 2023)  Encrytomatic LLC today announced the availability of MessageExport, an add-on software package that enables Microsoft Outlook  365 users to export, convert, copy and share e-Mail content efficiently.

MessageExport integrates with Outlook 365's menu system to provide a seamless set of tools that improve the productivity of people who work with e-Mail content.

"Although the 'out of the box' capabilities meet the needs of most people, it's possible to design highly specific export operations in MesssageExport to automate the most complex e-Mail export operations. Our customers in the legal and government sectors make use of these capabilities," said Darren Leno, President of Encryptomatic LLC. 

MessageExport excels at converting Outlook e-Mail to PDF. Special attention has been given to e-Mail file attachment processing, including extracting file attachments, converting them into the PDF document, embedding them as files inside the PDF, or ignoring them.

Incoming e-Mail can be converted individually, in bulk, or automatically to one of the many different file formats supported by MessageExport.

Export profiles are sets of instructions that users can create. They appear in the MessageExport toolbar in Outlook, and are quickly accessible. Each export profile can be tailored to the needs of the project, including:

- naming exported files according to a specific naming schema that can include email meta data
- optional removal of messages after export
- exporting recursive Outlook folders while preserving the folder structure during export
- exporting new e-Mail messages from specific Outlook folders on a regular time interval

Using MessageExport

After installing MessageExport, a toolbar appears in Microsoft Outlook containing the various export profiles. Users select the needed export profile from the list, then highlight the e-Mails they wish to export. When the "Export" button is clicked, MessageExport begins the operation, following the instructions contained in the profile.

Free Trial

MessageExport is available for a 15 day free trial. Following the trial, unregistered software reverts to a "free mode," allowing customers to export messages individually (but not in bulk). Following registration, all limits on export quantities are removed.

Outlook Add-in: Exporting Outlook Email to .MSG Files

The MessageExport add-in for Microsoft Outlook can convert email messages to .msg format. You can download  a free 15 day trial of MessageExport and follow along with this article.

Outlook's ability to export email as individual .msg files is rather limited.  It is easily done from inside Outlook by just by grabbing one or several email messages from the mail list and then dragging them to your Windows desktop. This technique will potentially leave you with a batch of  disorganized .msg files on your desktop.  

A better way is to extract Outlook email to .msg files is to use the MessageExport add-in.  MessageExport's .msg files are fully compatible with Microsoft Outlook.

To export Outlook mail to .msg with MessageExport, first select the email messages in the mail list.  Control-A will select all emails, or you can hold down the Control button and select individual messages, or you can hold down the Shift button to select a range of messages.

Click Export to save Outlook emails to .msg files.

Next select "Export to MSG" from MessageExport's drop down list, and click the blue "Export" button.  That will begin your export process.

There is no limit to the number of messages you can export, but if you select several thousand messages, be prepared for a bit of of wait.  The time needed to export emails to .msg format will depend on the number of emails selected, and the time needed to download remotely hosted elements (such as pictures) from the web.

You also get the added advantage of being able to apply a specific naming structure to the .msg files. Thinking of a useful naming plan prior to export can allow you to better sort and manage your .msg files when viewing the directory.

By editing the MessageExport profile, you can specify how it should name the .msg files that it is creating.  There are dozens of pieces of information from the email that you can combine into a naming scheme that MessageExport will apply to newly created .msg files on future export operations.

Apply a special naming structure to .msg files

Your free 15 day trial is followed by a 30 day money back guarantee. Join the thousands of people who have made MessageExport a partner in their workday productivity.
