Email Conversion Tools

Article: dts0169

This article collects information on tools for converting message archives in proprietary email formats into standard or documented formats.  

To use message archives with dtSearch, the recommended formats are MSG, MBOX, EML, or HTML.   PST is also supported but is inherently slower to access than other formats.

dtSearch Desktop/Network includes a command-line program, mapitool, which can convert PST files to MSG.  For mapitool documentation, see https://support.dtsearch.com/mapitool.html

For information on indexing Outlook message stores using dtSearch, see How to index Outlook and Exchange messages with dtSearch.

Some of our customers also offer direct support for these formats.

    AccessData provides connector libraries for Lotus Notes and other enterprise formats.  

    Sherpa Software offers e-discovery solutions for Lotus Notes and other message archive formats

    Messaging Architects provides solutions for GroupWise
