Re: Best way to save important email
More genericly since this would work on iDevices and be common to those and your macs:- Make a new folder under accounts on iOs, or mailbox on a Mac, and so long as it's not joined to a specific mail account if you have several, you can move important stuff out of inboxes to that folder/mailbox. I started this on an idevice and it shows up on the Mac, too.

On-the-fly, I have flagged what I wanted to save. Some of it has to do with various instructions that I've been given on this list or through other means to accomplish various things on my computer or my android. Am I better off transferring the material from the various emails to TextEdit files or creating another mailbox specifically designed for those files? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Re: Best way to save important email
If you trust your email provider, just create folders and move stuff there. That's it. If you don't trust your email provider, either: 1. Find a provider you can trust--easiest, most convenient, and safest option in the long term. 2. Create local mailboxes on your Mac, and move stuff there. You can archive these mailboxes at any time, and re-import them. They're in mbox format, which is portable in case of need. 3. Save messages, either in raw format from the save commands, or in specific files using TextEdit. I still recommend the raw EML files, because they are complete representations of the mail as you received them. But text works too. Remember that if you use Time Machine, it is also backing up the offline content of your remote IMAP mailboxes; if your provider goes away, or you are disconnected, you still have the stuff, in a very deep pinch. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: Best way to save important email
You can also save e-mails - as well as webpages in Safari - in pdf format via the print dialogue. Look for pdf button and in there you will find the various formats in which you can save an e-mail into a preferred folder.

Re: Best way to save important email
Easiest way for me is the standard save dialog in which I convert the e-mails to .rtf files and save in Documents. Sincerely, the Constantly Barefooted Ray, Still a very happy Mac and iphone user!

Re: Best way to save important email
If I were to save an email in documents, what will be it's file format? What is the difference and saving it in documents versus putting it in TextEdit? I hope you're not stupid questions. I never even thought of saving it in documents. It would be much easier.

Re: Best way to save important email
Pam, you are confusing yourself over nothing. When I talked about saving in Documents, I referred to your Documents folder, not the file format. The file format can either be .rtf or the original mail format. The place I use is my Documents folder. Sincerely, the Constantly Barefooted Ray, Still a very happy Mac and iphone user!
