Method 1: Import MSG Data into Yandex Account Manually

Yandex Mail does not support the direct import of MSG files; therefore, you need to use an email client as an intermediary. You can use Microsoft Outlook as that intermediate email platform.

Step 1: Set Up Your Yandex Mail Account in Microsoft Outlook

  1. Firstly, download & install Microsoft Outlook & open it on your device.
  2. Then, go to the File menu >> click the Add Account option.
  3. After that, provide your Yandex email address to add your account.

  5. Now, provide the server details of Yandex IMAP & SMTP. 
  6. Finally, complete the setup & allow Outlook to sync the mailbox.

Step 2: Import MSG Files into Outlook

  1. After adding the Yandex account, open the folder where you have saved your MSG files.
  2. Then, drag & drop the MSG files directly into any desired Outlook folder.
  3. Make sure that the emails open correctly in MS Outlook.

Step 3: Move MSG Emails to the Yandex Mail Folder

  1. Now, select the imported MSG emails in Outlook to import them.
  2. After that, drag them into the Yandex Mail inbox or any other Yandex folder.

Limitations of the Manual Method
