"Some manufacturers" have a strong tendency to provide data paths into
their systems and little or no path out. The highly creative also tend
to obfuscate formats and make it hard to cleanly separate individual
records. But, I know you know that.

There is a large amount of software around, free and for $,  which
attempts to extract individual emails from various versions of
Microsoft's email files and or systems, with varying degrees of
success. I think that very little if any of it is made by Microsoft.
uS have been unable so far to place a full scale event horizon around
"their" data, but I imagine they are working on it.
