Convert PST to MSG Files in Batch, Easy & Fast

Easy PST to MSG Conversion

Wondering how easily bulk convert PST files to MSG? Several online tools promise to perform this task on your behalf within minutes. But are they really safe?

Your PST files carry important and confidential data, usually consisting of contacts, emails, journal entries, messages, tasks, meetings, notes, and appointments. Using an online service to convert PST to MSG means transferring all this data to an unknown server, where a third-party computer processes it to convert emails to resulting MSG files.

Our Total Outlook Converter will reduce the chances of your PST data file falling into the wrong hands and make the process super easy and highly customizable.

FAQ

What is PST?

A Personal Storage Table (PST) file is Microsoft Outlook's default way of saving user data, including contacts, messages, email messages, appointments, journal entries, notes, tasks, and meetings. It assists users in keeping track of different aspects of their lives while providing a reliable, secure, and offline solution for data storage.

What is MSG?

MSG refers to an MS Outlook message file that contains all parts of one Outlook file in one folder. It facilitates easy export, import, and backup of Outlook files outside of Microsoft Outlook. Like a PST file, this file format can store messages, appointments, contacts, journal entries, notes, tasks, and other Outlook items.

What is the difference between .PST and .MSG files?

The main difference between PST and MSG files is that the latter saves Outlook data individually, while the PST file format stores full folder information, like contacts, notes, appointments, journal entries, etc., or an entire mailbox.

For example, an email saved in the MSG file format features an email's body content and its attachments for each email item in a single folder. When it comes to the PST file format, it consists of the item types, folder structure, and other settings related to your entire folder or mailbox.

Can you import multiple PST files?

If you want to batch convert PST to MSG, you need to perform the same steps as in converting an individual file from .pst to .msg.

Simply run the MSG converter software tool, click the 'check all' button when picking files, or select multiple files you want to convert. The tool also allows converting an entire PST folder to MSG. After setting the parameters, click 'Start' and watch as you batch convert .pst to .msg files in minutes.

Total Outlook Converter Customer Reviews 2026

Rate ItRated 4.7/5 based on customer reviews

"We needed every email from a client's PST file split into individual MSG files so paralegals could tag and search them one by one. Total Outlook Converter batch-converted the whole mailbox to MSG without losing a single attachment or header. It made importing everything into our case management system far simpler."

Cassandra Hoyt Legal Secretary, Hoyt & Bannerman Attorneys

"Migrating staff away from oversized PST files meant exporting thousands of messages as separate MSG files first. Running the batch conversion from the command line let me automate the whole process across several departing mailboxes at once. No data loss on any of the runs, even with attachments and calendar items mixed in."

Felix Amaro IT Support Lead, Amaro Retail Group

"Backing up a large PST archive as individual MSG files makes it much easier to import specific emails into other systems later. Total Outlook Converter handled the batch quickly and kept every message intact. A way to rename the output MSG files based on sender rather than subject line would help our filing setup."
