Marcus Just my two bob's worth. I've used a couple of email archivers programs in the past and like yourself, found it confusing to display the contents. I recently purchased Mail Archiver X and cannot say enough good things about this program. When one opens the archived file, it is displayed as almost identical to the original mailbox, showing the contents of your 'In Box', mail boxes etc. Also one can schedule a time when to archive. I understand it also utilises Filemaker, if required. I am ashamed to say I have some 35gb of mail archived, so the first run took a while.
I have contacted the developers (who appear to reside in Germany) on a couple of occasions and they have always replied to my queries in a prompt concise way. Hope that helps.
