MailtoX FAQs
Do I need to have Outlook installed to view MSG files?
No, you don’t need to have Outlook installed to read the messages, as MailExplorer decodes MSG files natively.
Can MailtoX decode PST files natively?

What disadvantages exist when you backup your messages as PST or MBOX files?
A PST or MBOX file has several disadvantages:
- They’re fragile, especially as they get big. They get corrupted too easily.
- It’s hard to back them up or compact them.
- You can’t synchronize them to online services as they are too big.
The better format for backing up your email messages is MIME (*.eml).
PDF is also a good format for long term storage as MailtoX allows you to embed the email metadata inside the PDF files created, its attachments and linked images.
