I have a Windows 10 64b machine and can report the following:
> This software succeeded in converting to DOC - Impressive
> This software did NOT succeed in converting to PDF - even after a restart. (All documents have only only one page which is blank - Page 1 in header and today's date in footer) - Disappointing
> This software did NOT succeed in converting to XLS - even after a restart. (excel 2016 says they are all corrupt) - Disappointing

I did not attempt any other conversions as I am unlikely to use them.

Installed OK to W10 64bit.

The interface isn't very nice at all and looks too cluttered, without the ability to see mails easily, so I would advise the dev to perhaps look at designing it to look a little similar to Outlook.

It picked up all my Outlook accounts but for some odd reason, also picked up 40 non existent ones that it labelled Outlook1 all the way to Outlook40.

However, when it comes to actual conversion, it is a doddle and for all the output formats that I tried (DOC, PDF, XPS, XLS, TIFF, JPG) it did so immediately and with all formatting in place and just as I would expect to see.

So a thumbs up for the key functionality but is in need of a UI redesign.

The system requirements on this GOTD page says:
System Requirements:
Windows 2000/ 2003/ Vista/ 7/ 8/ 10

Publisher:
Coolutils

If it supports early OS as far back as Windows 2000, then why was XP specifically unsupported?
Very strange.

ricohflex,
Installed and ran no problems in XP.
From what I can gather if it runs okay in 2000 it should run in XP.

I tested this tool under Windows10 and Outlook2016. Here some observations.
I was not able to start "setup.exe" with administrator rights - usually I'm logged on with a Windows standard user and I start setup exe-files by right clicking and selecting "Start as administrator". But this way I got the error "The client is missing the required rights" (I hope I translated this correct from the actual German text "Dem Client fehlt ein erforderliches Recht."). So I had to promote my user account from standard user to administrator and log off and on again. Then both the installation and activation worked fine. I tried to convert an html mail with embedded screenshots (i. e. the picture of the screenshots shows up within the mail, not as file attachments). And I tried all available formats. Not all of them worked, some worked partially and only one format worked to my full satisfaction:

The following formats didn't work at all, the output only showed an empty page or a page with the text "Page 1" at the top, but nothing else: pdf, xps, tiff, jpg

Xlsx was created, but Excel2016 could not open it.

Docx was created and showed the correct text, but embedded pictures showed up only as pictures with an ugly big red X.

Html, xhtml were created, showed both text and embedded pictures. Only flaw: the embedded pictures were cut off on the right side (as opposed to viewing in Outlook).

Txt worked perfectly fine. Of course it cannot show the embedded pictures, by nature of text files.

Eml was the only format that worked to my full satisfaction. It not only exported both text and embedded pictures, but also regular file attachments! Wonderful! And this is also the reason I will keep this tool - despite the many defects!

Cheers,
