Why use the GoldFynch MSG Viewer?

Open MSG files without Outlook

The viewer renders the full email body, headers, and lists attachments for download. No software installation required

No uploads - total confidentiality

The file is processed locally. Your sensitive client data never touches the internet or our servers.

Preserve every byte of metadata

Unlike Outlook or conversion utilities, we leave the original MSG untouched. Perfect for eDiscovery integrity.

Blazing-fast on large batches

Load thousands of messages in seconds without indexing or processing delays.

Cross-platform convenience

Works with all major browsers like Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Safari.

What you can do

  • Read the entire email body instantly
  • Download attachments with one click (PDF, images, DOCX, and more)
  • Switch to raw view to inspect PID tags and headers

How it works

  1. Open the viewer. You can even disconnect from the internet after it loads.
  2. Drag and drop one or more .msg files onto the drop zone.
  3. Browse emails instantly. Nothing is transmitted or saved elsewhere.
  4. Close the browser tab when you are done. That is it.
