This will import the full message contents and attachments (as with other mail clients), and it will also preserve Mailsmith's status flags (unread, flagged, replied, redirected, etc.) and any colored label that you've set or notes that you've added.ĮagleFiler stores e-mails in the standard mbox format, which is efficient (one file per mailbox instead of one per message) and can easily be imported back into any mail client if necessary. It offers quick searching of the message content as well as the contents of any attached files. Files are automatically checksummed for safe long-term archival, so that if a mailbox becomes damaged it can alert you that you should restore it from a backup (before the the damaged file has propagated to the backup).

#DEVONTHINK PRO VS EAGLEFILER ARCHIVE#
Since I already was using EagleFiler to store, tag and organize other documents, it made sense for me to start to use it to archive my infrequently used mail messages also. Adam Engst of Tidbits wrote brief descriptions of some of the better known mail archiving products, Mail Steward, Mail Archiver and DevonThink Pro Office. There are other mail archiving products on the market. You can read the entire list. EagleFiler has a very user-friendly interface and many more features listed here.

EagleFiler can import too many file types to list here, but it includes web pages, PDF files, Word files and jpeg images. You could think of it as a digital filing cabinet. Once you’ve confirmed that the messages are in EagleFiler then you can delete them from Mail.ĮagleFiler can actually do a lot more than store your email messages. Just sit back and wait for the messages to be copied into EagleFiler which happens pretty quickly. Select one or more email messages in Mail and then press EagleFiler’s Capture Key, which is F1 by default. Archiving messages into EagleFiler couldn’t be easier.

If you continue to use the program after the trial period has expired you’ll need to buy it for $50. You can download a trial version of EagleFiler if you’d like to test it. This triggers Mail to display the email message and the attachment. You can open the attachments by simply double-clicking them in EagleFiler. EagleFiler stores both the email message and the attachment. I can also search for words contained in the messages.

In EagleFiler I can view the individual email messages including all of the header (to, from, date and subject) information and the message itself.

Rather than storing years of these email messages in Mail, I archive them and store them in EagleFiler. This means I have mail messages that I sent between the late 1990s and the present. Depending upon how many total messages you store in Mail, this might improve Mail’s performance.īecause email is so central to my business, I like to hold onto just about every message I send or receive. Once the messages have been archived you can delete them from Mail. Do you store thousands and thousands of email messages? Do you infrequently access many of these messages? If so, you could archive these email messages using EagleFiler.
