.Msg inputs with attachments

[danettedavis]

Our company recently moved from outlook as our email provided to google.  We have years of .msg files saved to our network folders that contain a variety of information that we would like to be able to read into Alteryx and decipher.  Additionally, some of these files contain attachments that we would like to be able to extract.  I've been able to pull in the message content as .csv files, though they come in with a lot of gibberish. Has anyone successfully read in .msg files and extracted attachments that can provide a solution?

Have you checked this out - https://stackoverflow.com/questions/26322255/parsing-outlook-msg-files-with-python - you are going to want to bring in someone on your team who knows python/.net/powershell. You can use Alteryx to help batch this but you really need someone who knows scripting.
