I do not have an account that I wish to migrate within Thunderbird but I just need to use it to view some .msg files. Each time I try to open a .msg file to view it, I am asked to log in to Thunderbird. Is there any way of just viewing the messages without requiring an associated email account? The messages relate to an investigation I am conducting and I do not own the recipient's account.

Ok, I'm not aware that Thunderbird can open msg files. If it does, that's new to me. However, there is a freeware viewer at https://www.freeviewer.org/msg/ that does this.
