EML to MSG — how to get a message into Outlook
Outlook can already read EML. Here is the safe path to a real .msg file, without a converter that corrupts metadata.

This format needs a container format that cannot be written safely from JavaScript. Convert to EML instead and import it with the desktop workflow described below.

What is a MSG file?
MSG is the file format Microsoft Outlook uses to save a single email, contact, or calendar item. It stores the header (sender, recipient, subject, timestamp), the message body, and any original attachments in one file — which is why it can typically only be opened natively in Outlook.

Why is MSG hard to write?
MSG is a Compound File Binary container full of MAPI property streams — the same structure Windows uses for OLE documents. Reading it is well understood; writing one that Outlook accepts means reproducing property tags, named-property maps and stream naming exactly, and a mistake produces a file that opens empty or crashes the preview pane. Since Outlook opens EML files natively and re-saves them as MSG with one keystroke, the honest answer is to let Outlook do the writing.

Questions people ask before converting
Yes. Double-click the .eml file, or drag it into any Outlook folder — Outlook parses it and shows a normal message.
Open the EML in Outlook, then File → Save As and choose Outlook Message Format (*.msg). Outlook writes a fully valid MSG, metadata included.
A hand-written MSG that Outlook opens empty is worse than no file at all. We only ship conversions we would rely on ourselves.
Then you don't need MSG — keep the EML. Every other mail client reads it, and our MSG Viewer reads the format going the other way.
