[MlMt] How to archive mail to save server space, but keep local copies?[EagleFiler]

[Henry Seiden]

John,

Thanks for your info about EagleFiler and glad to know (like my favorite SpamSieve) that the Developer Michael Tsai, is as passionate about all his products as Benny.

I will consider testing and using EagleFiler (already have it but have not explored this feature) for my historical email archives both previous and going forward.

Having the individual emails both searchable and viewable is a BIG plus.

Respectfully,

Henry Seiden

All my email messages from a given yearn appear as a single file in the Finder. When I click that file in EagleFiler, the included messages appear individually and can be browsed and accessed normally. Of course, you can also export your messages as individual files, and they will remain individual files after they are imported.
