There is a detailed preview facility where the user can see the content of the selected item before converting it.

Multiple destination formats like MSG, EML, RTF, PDF, TXT, HTML, MHTML, etc. to save converted files.

The software can directly migrate the content from Opera Mail file to Office 365, Exchange, Domino, GroupWise, Gmail, etc.

Advanced filtering options that apply various criteria like To, From, Subject, Date, and Attachments.

The large data files can be split into smaller files with the split option.
