I'm sorry to say, currently .msg files can't be opened using Outlook 2011. I have found the only way is one of three things: 1. Get them in a .pst file ( which might not work for you, cause you are getting them as a .msg file for a reason). 2. Install Windows and Outlook on your Mac through Boot Camp (although it seems like to much just to view emails). 3. Try [Klammer](http://klammer.kupon-bg.com/macos/) it will let you open them, and on their site is says open in Outlook. I think your best bet might be number 3. resources: [Can saved Outlook email and contacts (in .msg format) be converted and then imported?](http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac/forum/macoffice2011-macoutlook/can-saved-outlook-email-and-contacts-in-msg-format/65144ce0-2d38-4d3f-b66f-3194db3effd3) [Microsoft Office 2008 - Entourage and .msg files](http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=421415)
