How can I open Outlook MSG emails in Thunderbird as EML files?

I have many MSG emails saved from Outlook, but now I want to access them in Thunderbird. Thunderbird works better with EML files, so I need to convert the MSG emails without changing sender, date, subject, or attachment details.

    Thunderbird does not read MSG files directly, so those emails need to be converted into EML format first. Renaming the file extension is not a good idea because it can affect headers, body text and attachments.

    You can use a Windows based MSG to EML converter for this step. GainTools MSG to EML Converter Software is one option that works without Outlook and saves MSG emails in EML format. After conversion, open the EML files in Thunderbird and check sender details, date, formatting and attachments.

    Start with its demo on a few messages from your folder. If the EML files open correctly in Thunderbird, then continue with the remaining emails.
