Hello @JITU99,

You cannot reliably convert .eml to .msg without Outlook because .msg is an Outlook-specific format.

Conclusion: Without Outlook installed, there is ‘no supported or native solution’.

Why do you want to convert to .msg, you can process a .eml file in UiPath ?

Unfortunately, with no outlook installed , there’s no relaiable way

If outlook is installed, then yes. Can you please let us knon the usage of .msg file instead of eml to provide better solution

Hi @JITU99

Without Outlook installed, UiPath cannot convert .eml to .msg because .msg is an Outlook-specific format. There is no native UiPath or Windows support for this conversion. The only options are to use a third-party conversion API/library or to continue processing the .eml file directly instead of converting it.

No — UiPath cannot natively convert .eml To .msg without Outlook installed.

Here’s the clear breakdown, including why And what you can realistically Do instead.

–>Why this Is Not possible With UiPath alone

UiPath’s MSG handling relies On Microsoft Outlook (MAPI).

The .msg format Is proprietary And requires:

Outlook

Or a third-party library that reimplements MAPI

Even If you:

Read the .eml file Using Read Text File

Parse headers/body manually

Extract attachments

–>You still cannot create a valid .msg file without Outlook Or a dedicated MSG library.
