Thanks, but I would like to convert automatically all .msg mail in a
directory using a script.

For that I need a command line.

Any idea ?

That is not possible by command line. You can drag and drop the items into
an Outlook folder so that OE can import them. Even by VBA Outlook cannot
store directly to the eml-format.

To perform MSG to EML conversion using MS Outlook, you can click on the desired MSG file in MS Outlook so that it appears in the "Open" window (or you can drag and drop) to an emailing application that supports the EML format. Using this approach for converting large quantities (bulk convert) is not practical. The third-party software Softaken MSG to EML Converter is a more effective option. With the preservation of attachments, formatting, metadata, and folder structure, it enables users to convert many MSG files to EML format in a single step. The application is simple to use and does not require the installation of Outlook. Additionally, it offers a free trial edition that lets customers try the conversion process with a small number of emails before buying the full version.
