These emails are in .msg format, which is not widely used by other email platforms. Now, the recipient uses Mozilla Thunderbird, which uses the .mbox file format. Therefore, the IT admin needs to convert MSG to MBOX to avoid compatibility constraints. Read on to see how to use the <strong>Cigati <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cigatisolutions.com\/msg-converter-tool\/\">MSG Converter Tool<\/a><\/strong> for fast and efficient file conversion.

Converting .msg files to .mbox files can be ideal in managing bulk files.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Backing up and restoring MBOX Files is easy and simple.
