MSG Viewer API for Android - Read Outlook Emails in Apps

Support desks, legal teams and records systems exchange saved emails constantly, and they arrive as MSG files. An Android app built for such workflows has to open them, while mobile mail clients cannot open them at all. GroupDocs.Viewer Cloud answers that need with a REST API and a Java SDK for Android, installed from Gradle or Maven with code samples.

An Outlook Mail Message file is what Microsoft Outlook writes when a single email is saved or dragged out of a mailbox. It packages the sender, recipients, subject, body and attachment data in one container, and that makes it the standard unit for passing single emails.

The API renders an MSG file to HTML, PDF, JPG or PNG, which presents the message as readable pages instead of raw data. Navigation, zoom and thumbnails apply to those pages, one page at a time can be requested, and password-protected files are supported. That same endpoint also handles more than 180 further formats.

One saved message can be checked at no cost in the free online GroupDocs.Viewer app. A free trial covers evaluation, and requests can be sent from the API Explorer.
