    Hi Helen-chota, welcome to our Community!

     

    Please keep in mind that Dropbox doesn't preview .MSG files. However, you should be able to download a viewer which will do it for you. Then you can export them and use the appropriate application that is capable of opening them.

     

    I'll forward your feedback to the appropriate areas so we can continue to improve.
     

    I hope this clarifies!
