It is a free, open-source email platform to receive, send, and manage emails. But sometimes a user may need to export Thunderbird emails to MSG for multiple scenarios. This includes legal or compliance needs, archiving purposes, attachment management, etc. In this blog, we will cover a free solution and will use an advanced utility such as <strong>MailConverterTools<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mailconvertertools.com\/thunderbird-backup\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Thunderbird Mail Backup Tool<\/strong><\/a> with accurate results.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tabset\"><!-- Tab 1 --> <input id=\"tab1\" checked=\"checked\" name=\"tabset\" type=\"radio\" aria-controls=\"marzen\" \/> <label for=\"tab1\"><i class=\"icon-windows\"><\/i> Windows<\/label> <!-- Tab 2 --> <input id=\"tab2\" name=\"tabset\" type=\"radio\" aria-controls=\"rauchbier\" \/> <label for=\"tab2\"><i class=\"icon-apple\"><\/i> Mac<\/label>\n<div class=\"tab-panels\">\n<section id=\"marzen\" class=\"tab-panel\"><a class=\"custom-download-btn\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sysinfotools.com\/demo-version\/SysInfo-Thunderbird-Email-Backup-Tool.exe\"><i class=\"icon-windows\"><\/i> Download Now<\/a> \u00a0 \u00a0 <a class=\"custom-buy-btn\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mailconvertertools.com\/thunderbird-backup\/buynow.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><i class=\"icon-basket\"><\/i> Buy Now<\/a><\/section>\n<section id=\"rauchbier\" class=\"tab-panel\"><a class=\"custom-download-btn\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sysinfotools.com\/demo-version\/SysInfo-Thunderbird-Email-Backup-Tool-mac.dmg\"><i class=\"icon-apple\"><\/i> Download Now<\/a> \u00a0 \u00a0 <a class=\"custom-buy-btn\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mailconvertertools.com\/thunderbird-backup\/buynow.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><i class=\"icon-basket\"><\/i> Buy Now<\/a><\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"main_heading\">Common Reasons to Export Emails from Thunderbird to MSG<\/h2>\n<p>Let\u2019s understand the purpose of the user to convert emails from Thunderbird to a MSG file. Read the several reasons pointed out below:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">If the user wants to access their emails in Outlook, then this export is required. It is because the native file format of Outlook is MSG.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">This conversion helps user to create a backup of their Thunderbird emails in MSG format.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">MSG files preserve metadata, which can be used for legal or professional needs.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">The MSG file provides better organization of emails because it stores emails separately.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Every MSG file can be searched easily without importing the whole mailbox.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"main_heading\">Top 2 Methods to Export Thunderbird Emails to MSG<\/h2>\n<p>There are two efficient methods to make this conversion successful. The first solution is an indirect way to export and is only recommended for personal use. For organizational or business purposes, using a professional <strong>Thunderbird Mail Backup Software <\/strong>is recommended. This tool makes the process easier and smoother with effective output.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"main_heading\">Method 1: Convert Thunderbird Emails to MSG Manually<\/h3>\n<p>This method is a manual approach, where you have to apply each step on your own. It requires technical expertise and prior knowledge of Thunderbird and its Add-ons. For better understanding and readability, the steps are divided into three parts. Missing any step can lead to errors and incomplete conversion.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 1: Install the ImportExportTools NG Add-on in Thunderbird<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">To begin with, open <strong>Mozilla Thunderbird<\/strong> on your system.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Then, go to the <strong>Tools <\/strong>menu and click on <strong>Add-ons and Themes<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">After that, in the search bar, type <strong>ImportExportTools NG<\/strong> and press <strong>Enter<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Here, when the add-on appears, click on <strong>Add to Thunderbird<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Thereafter, confirm the installation by selecting <strong>Add-On<\/strong> and then clicking <strong>OK <\/strong>on the pop-up message.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>Step 2: Export Thunderbird Emails as EML Files<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Firstly, choose the <strong>Thunderbird <\/strong>folder that contains the emails you want to convert.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><strong>Right-click<\/strong> on the folder and select the <strong>Save As<\/strong> option.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Furthermore, pick <strong>Mail Files (.eml)<\/strong> as the saving format and select your desired location.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">At last, click <strong>Save <\/strong>to export the Thunderbird emails into EML format.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>Step 3: Move Thunderbird emails to MSG Format<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Afterwards, navigate to the folder where the converted <strong>EML <\/strong>files are stored.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Then, <strong>right-click<\/strong> on an EML file and select <strong>Open With &gt; Outlook<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Now, once the email opens in Outlook, simply <strong>drag and drop<\/strong> it from <strong>Outlook <\/strong>into a<strong> local drive <\/strong>or <strong>folder<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Finally, this action automatically saves the email in <strong>MSG <\/strong>format, completing the conversion from <strong>Thunderbird to MSG<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>Limitations:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">This conversion process is too lengthy and requires Outlook dependency.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">There is a risk of data loss, and it is not ideal for bulk conversion.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">It requires technical knowledge and has performance issues.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 class=\"main_heading\">Method 2: Efficiently Export Thunderbird Emails to MSG<\/h3>\n<p>This method is a perfect solution for users with a large mailbox. It converts emails in multiple formats, like PST, EMLX, EML, DOC, DOCX, PNG, etc. This tool supports bulk conversion and offers a preview option before the conversion. Moreover, you can convert your mailbox with or without attachments in a few clicks.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Steps to Save Thunderbird to MSG<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Firstly, launch the <strong>Thunderbird Backup Tool <\/strong>and load your profile.<\/li>\n<li>Once the data appears, click <strong>Next <\/strong>to continue.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-6208\" style=\"margin: 20px 0; border: 1px solid;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mailconvertertools.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/1-11.webp\" alt=\"Select profile then click Next\" width=\"644\" height=\"419\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mailconvertertools.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/1-11.webp 644w, https:\/\/www.mailconvertertools.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/1-11-300x195.webp 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 644px) 100vw, 644px\" \/><\/li>\n<li>Then, review the folder structure and mark the specific folders you wish to export.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-6209\" style=\"margin: 20px 0; border: 1px solid;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mailconvertertools.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/2-9.webp\" alt=\"Review the folder structure\" width=\"646\" height=\"419\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mailconvertertools.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/2-9.webp 646w, https:\/\/www.mailconvertertools.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/2-9-300x195.webp 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 646px) 100vw, 646px\" \/><\/li>\n<li>Click <strong>Next<\/strong>, then choose <strong>EML <\/strong>as the output format.<\/li>\n<li>Apply any required filters and <strong>set a destination<\/strong> location to save the exported files.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-6210\" style=\"margin: 20px 0; border: 1px solid;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mailconvertertools.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/3-9.webp\" alt=\"Set a destination\" width=\"646\" height=\"420\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mailconvertertools.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/3-9.webp 646w, https:\/\/www.mailconvertertools.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/3-9-300x195.webp 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 646px) 100vw, 646px\" \/><\/li>\n<li>Finally, press the <strong>Convert <\/strong>button to begin the export process.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-6211\" style=\"margin: 20px 0; border: 1px solid;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mailconvertertools.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/4-9.webp\" alt=\"Press the Convert\" width=\"645\" height=\"422\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mailconvertertools.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/4-9.webp 645w, https:\/\/www.mailconvertertools.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/4-9-300x196.webp 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 645px) 100vw, 645px\" \/><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<div class=\"py-3 ps-3\" style=\"border: 2px solid #4A90E2; margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding-top: 8px; padding-left: 10px; border-radius: 10px; background: #E8F8E8;\">\n<p><strong>Successful User Case:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Problem:<\/strong> <em>\u201cA marketing firm wanted to migrate all employee emails from Thunderbird to Outlook without losing attachments or formatting.
