Klammer App Reviews

Its a good app, I can open on my Mac Winmail-s data files, Outlook mail message files and view the contents and attachments. Klammer is running perfect on Mac OS 10.7 Lion. Adriana Gaitan

It doesnt work, I want my money back. I would rather just check it online.

great app, very easy to use. I can open all my emails with no problem.

I was about to purchase emailchemy for $30 to convert a bunch of .msg files. Then I saw a thread on Apple support pointing me to this $5 app. Looked great so I purchased it. Then I found out it was an additional $10 for bulk processing. Before spending the $10 I tried one message -- opened the .msg file but couldnt read it or its attachment. Then I tried to open in Mac Mail but it said the app wasnt installed (it is installed and used frequently). So it looks like I wasted $5.

I recently had to transfer a bunch of WinOutlook emails (6 years worth) to Mac Entourage; first tried the 5.99 app on a varieity of emails, text, HTML, with attachments, embedded objects, etc. Preserved 100% of the content and formatting. So I upgraded to bulk converter. Have now converted and imported over 2K .msg, and everything converted perfectly in less than 3 minutes. Tried it on Mail, worked fine. Great product at a fair price. This is the tool to make windoze outllook and mac outlook cross-platform compatible. Using 10.7.4 and Office 2008 as primary platform.

In less than 2 minutes, Klammer converted 3000 emails I had downloaded to a USB from Outlook and couldnt open. I really needed the info so it was a life saver. Yes, I paid the extra $10 for the bulk convert but it worked perfectly and kept them organized in the same file structure I had downloaded them in. I HIGHLY recommend this app.

and thats the only reason I bought it… wasted $6.

This app does not open .msg files as advertised (see line #1 of the description). Rather it points you to a converter program. A big waste of time …following up a day later… installed the "bulk converter" program for another $10. still no result. this isnt rocket science guys, this is a .msg file generated by squirrel mail, a very common webmail client in use by website administrators literally everywhere. If you inspect the file with an ASCII line editor, this is a plain ASCII file with some fancy headers in the first few lines.

Like another poster here, I had a need to convert .msg files and purchased Klammer for $5.99 as the price seemed right. Only to discover that Klammer does not provide the simple batch feature of bulk convert. For a few more lines of programming code, if you want to convert thousands of emails (which is always the case) you must purchase their Bulk Convert feature for $9.99 At $15.99 I think there are competitors out there provide more features at this price and perhaps not near as deceptive as these baitn switch turkeys. My question is, do I stop at the $5.99 basic and go elsewhere? Or do I pay the additional $9.99 and be done with it? Im telling ya, they got me by the balls and they wont let go.

I bought this (including the in-app purchase of batch conversion functionality) to move a bunch of Outlook contact msg files to Contacts.app. I was able to use it to get the job done, but the apps limitations meant I needed to go card by card to get some things right. As all the contacts were saved as msg files and I no longer have access the PC they came from, I used the batch converter to convert them to vcf files and then imported them to Contacts.app. - The msg files contain both Japanese and Chinese text. Although Klammer properly displayed the Japanese and Chinese text when opening one msg file at a time, it turned all of it into non-sensical characters in the converted vcf files. I couldnt figure out a way to make the conversion work, so I had to go through contact by contact to copy and paste any Japanese/Chinese from the viewer to imported vcf files in Contacts.app. - 23 of the 521 converted vcf files could not be imported into Contacts.app. Klammer gave no warning of any issues, nor did Contacts.app when I dragged and dropped all 521 into the app. I discovered it by noting the numerical discrepancy. When the 23 were dragged in on their own, Contacts.app gave an error that said "No importable cards were found." For some reason, Klammer made 23 vcf files that could not be imported, which is about a 4% error rate. Ultimately, I used Klammer to view the data in each of the respective msg files, copied and pasted that field by field into a spreadsheet, and then imported the spreadsheet into Contacts.app. - The department field was simply skipped in at least some cases. I didnt bother to fix these. Instead, Ill just use Klammer to open the original msg files if I ever really do need it. - It displayed and created vcf with all address fields included twice. As this was just duplicative information, I just left it in. - When you open a msg file, it always opens to a set size, rather than remembering the window size you chose. I was copying and pasting a lot from the notes, which are at the bottom, so the fixed size meant I needed to scroll down on almost every card, slowing down the process. - The work telephone field also went missing in many cases. I couldnt get this to display in Klammer, so it might be an issue with the export from Outlook (these were exported by simply dragging and dropping to a folder). Since I no longer have access to the original files, I cant be sure about the origin of this issue. That all said, the app did save a great deal of time when compared to needing to reenter the contacts from business cards. However, by fixing the issues noted above, it could save a lot more.

I moved from a Windows to Mac and just needed a way to view my old Outlook msg files. This application did exactly what I needed for a reasonable price.

I switched from a PC to a mac, but still use Outlook. I had thousands of emails saved in hundreds of folders. Klammer lets me read and forward them. I bought bulk convert. Once purchased its good for life. It converted the thousands of files into the same folders, by choosing the destination file as the same as the source file. Worked great. Not sure I needed to do the bulk convert, since I could read any msg file anyway. Customer support returned my email question in less than 24 hours and did a follow up email. Works fast. Installs fast. I dont give hardly any apps 5 stars, this is a very high rating by my standards.

This is perfect for my purposes - I use a Windows computer at work but synchronize all the files onto my Mac for working at home. I bought Outlook for Mac and I can import email folders into the Mac that way, but for the individual email files saved in various non-email folders, Klammer allows me to read them and makes it easy to go back and forth between the two computers. For $5, this was well worth it!

Does stuff not listed. biggest surprise.

Bought Klammer solely for the advertised QuickLook viewer, to allow viewing of .msg files in the Finder. It works great!

I bought this solely because I have one unignorable sender who uses Outlook. Her emails always include a sig in the form of an image, which Klammer shows me in quick look no problem. However, when I quick look a winmail.dat file, if there are other attachments in it, I’m unable to open them from preview—I have to launch Klammer and then save them. If I could see an icon for, say, a MS Word file in the quick look preview and then double-click the Word icon to open the attachment in Word that would be *really* rad. Thing is, I can see that there are attachments in the quick look—I just can’t open them from the preview window.

Purchased to view .msg files on macbook. I wanted to use the bulk converter. However [and this is my fault as well for not reading the small print] after paying $8 for this app you have to pay another $10 for the bulk converter. Get MailRaider for $7.99 to do the bulk convertion. Bad form Klammer!

Needed it to open both outlook and standard .msg files. Only handled MS formated ones

90% of the time when I try to open a .msg I get a “permission” error. I think I threw away my money on this app. Don’t buy it. Look for another option

The tool converted the bulk of an oft message, but the bottom portion was gibberish. I suspect this is because the body of the oft file contained numerous links to other sites. Will still need to go back to the oft creator and ask her to save a .docx version for me to use. Will use it for less complex oft conversions.
