How to Convert MSG to PST Outlook?

To safely convert multiple MSG files to PST format in Outlook 2007, users can follow a manual method or utilize a specialized software tool. Here's how to do both:
Manual Method for Converting MSG to PST

• Create a New Folder in Outlook:
  
• Open Outlook and create a new folder where you want to import the MSG files.
  
• Select MSG Files:
  
• Locate the MSG files you wish to convert. You can select multiple files by holding down the Ctrl key while clicking on each file.
  
• Drag and Drop:
  
• Drag the selected MSG files into the newly created folder in Outlook. This method will import the emails into your Outlook environment.
  
• Export to PST:
  
• Once the emails are in Outlook, go to File > Open & Export > Import/Export.
  
• Choose Export to a file, select Outlook Data File (.pst), and follow the prompts to save the folder containing your imported MSG files as a PST file.
  

While this manual method works, it can be time-consuming and may pose risks of data loss if not done carefully.
