Try selecting them all and dragging and dropping into an outlook folder.Alternatively, use Outlook Express or Thunderbird to import them and then import from those programs into Outlook.

Reboot the computer and try again. If it's still giving problem, try disabling all add ons in Outlook (start it in safe mode).
Follow these steps to import msg files to Outlook
•      Open MS Outlook application
•      Create a new folder in Outlook
•      Then select the MSG files you want drag and drop.
•      One the process done-> Close MS Outlook.
•      Drag MSG files and Drop into new Folder
But when i tried above method, It fails to get all my MSG files into Outlook and then I chose an alternative method.
Through MSG to PST converter, I transform my entire MSG files into PST file that helped me to send or store multiple files at single time in MS Outlook
Thank you
