Convert OTT to MSG using Python
OTT to MSG conversion in your Python Applications without installing Microsoft Word® or Outlook.
Why to Convert
Python developers often need to convert OTT (Outlook Template) files to MSG (Outlook Message) format. This is because MSG files are more widely used in the industry and are more compatible with different email clients. OTT files are not as widely used and are not as compatible with different email clients. Therefore, it is important for Python developers to be able to convert OTT files to MSG format.
