An error occurred while saving the comment An error occurred while saving the comment I had done the same thing some time back—I had to extract attachments from MSG files exported from Outlook, but the computer I was working on did not have Outlook installed. I looked at a lot of tools but most of them were Outlook dependent. Then I found Softaken MSG Attachment Extractor and that got my job done without any problem. The special thing about this tool is that it can open MSG files and extract attachments even without Outlook. I am giving its step-by-step process below:
How to extract attachments from MSG files
Step 1: First, download and install the tool.
Step 2: Open the tool and click on the “Browser” button. Add the MSG file. You can choose between folder and within folder.
Step 3: Then you choose the file that you want to extract.
Step 4: If you want, you can also apply filters—like if you want to extract only PNG or DOC files.
Step 5: Select the location where you want the result to go by clicking the "Browser" button.
Step 6: Do it now by pressing the "Process Now" button.
In a few minutes all the attachments will be extracted and saved in your selected folder.
I used the free trial of this tool first, which is good for testing before the full version. If you have hundreds of MSG files and don’t have Outlook, then this tool works perfectly.

An error occurred while saving the comment If you use GainTools MSG to PST Converter, converting MSG files to PST format and preserving attachments is very easy. This tool is specifically designed to allow you to convert your MSG emails to PST format and all email data and attachments remain intact during the conversion. With this software you can select and convert multiple MSG files simultaneously, saving you time. The folder structure and email properties (To, Cc, Bcc, Subject, Date) are also preserved. This tool works even without Outlook installed and the resulting PST file is ready for direct import into Thunderbird or Outlook. A free trial version is available, allowing you to test the tool by converting a limited number of emails.

An error occurred while saving the comment Whether you use Outlook or Gmail, there are trustworthy methods to automatically remove and preserve attachments from your inbox, particularly if you receive hundreds of emails every day.
Outlook users would find one of the best approaches to be using a desktop program or an automation script. Should you be using the Outlook desktop client, you can create a macro to automatically download attachments from fresh emails and save them to a folder on your machine. But if you have thousands of attachments or ancient PST/OST files, this is not always a smart idea, and it requires some technical knowledge to set up.
For Gmail, native Gmail does not offer a direct feature to bulk-download attachments, but you can connect your Gmail account to a third-party application via IMAP and extract attachments that way. Google Apps Script is also an option, but again, it has limits on execution time and daily quota, which isn’t ideal for high-volume use. If you’re looking for a simple, easy-to-use, and efficient solution, I would recommend trying Softaken Email Attachment Extractor. It’s designed for exactly this kind of scenario.
This tool allows you to load Outlook PST, OST, MSG, EML, and MBOX files—and automatically extract all attachments in bulk without having to manually open each email. It works great for both archived and live emails. You don’t even need Outlook installed to use it. It organizes attachments neatly into folders and can remove duplicates during extraction. This tool has a free trial version available, so you can test it with a small number of emails and see how it performs with your workload.
