Save email to file

Hi!
I need to save emails that I'm going to send into a file (for archiving purpose). I need the file to be opened by Outlook and preferbly Thunderbird and (osx) Mail.
I'm using javax.mail.internet.MimeMessage to build the mail and sends it with javax.mail.Transport.
Does it exist a good MimeMessage to file-translator? What is the preferd file-format for this kind of files so that I can support as many email-programs as possible?
Thanks in advance
Roland Carlsson

You need a local store provider. See the JavaMail Third Party Products page:
http://java.sun.com/products/javamail/Third_Party.html
I don't know if there's a file format that all email programs will understand.
A single MIME message in a file is probably pretty close. For that, all you
need is Message.writeTo. But I'm not sure how to get all mail programs to
open such a file and treat it as a message.

Please can someone tell me how to save a MP3 file from my email on my iPad so I can put in on Facebook? Thankyou

Please can someone tell me how to save a MP3 file from my email on my iPad so I can put it on Faceboo? I use hotmail and please tell me step by step as I am not a tech guru lol. Thankyou

Hi jscher200,
Thank you for your reply, sorry for the VERY late late response, but I have just figured out how to control this separate 'panel'. I find it really useful for monitoring Google Analytics in as it can just sit there running. It does have its limitations, as it's a limited size (you can't expand it to full screen view), so you can only ever see a vertical section of a website and need to scroll to look to the right or left, but I have the live view of people accessing my website running on there and if the numbers start racking up at any time, I can scroll to look and see what pages they are accessing, where they've been referred from, etc.
To get it to work, you save a website address in the Bookmarks Toolbar and when you can see it sitting on the toolbar at the top of the screen with its little icon, right click on it then click 'properties', then tick the box 'Load this bookmark in the sidebar'. The next time you click on this bookmark to open the website, it will load in this sidebar, which looks like a separate 'window' but is immovable. You can only have one sidebar application running at a time, but can change it by right clicking on the bookmark you want to load in there and it will then change to that one next time you click on that bookmark.
I hope this might be useful to others, as I asked for help with this on loads of forums and not one person knew that this existed - even really skilled techies!

How can I sav an emailed .mov file to my iPad?

How can I sav an emailed .mov file to my iPad?

Yes there is, if you hold down the attachment widget in the email once the video is downloaded, it will give you a series of options to save it to, including camera roll.
Hope this solves your question.

I can no longer save emails or documents to file. How do I restore that function withoutrestoring to a previous date, which as I understand it might dele te all changes I have made to software subsequent to the restoration date?

When I hit "save as" and view the field that comes up, it does not give me the option any longer of saving to my personal file. This problem started a few days ago, when it took me into my personal files and allowed me to select a specific folder to save the document in, but no longer gave me the option of hitting "save" into that file folder. I know that I have made changes in trying to correct the original problem, but now I don't know how to get back to where I was before.no longer

Ah yes school boy error there out of frustration and discontent..
My issue is with music/apps/films etc not downloading from iTunes / App Store.
They initially fail and message is displayed stating unable to download / purchase at this time, yet if I retry it says I've already purchased (?) or alternatively I go to the purchased section and there they are waiting with the cloud symbol..
However some items get frozen in the download window and cannot be retried or deleted. Message appears stating to tap to retry, but even if you stole every bath and sink in the uk you'd still not have enough taps.
I post here as the iTunes guys are useless in there 'help' and have only advised posting here or phoning apple, at my expense, to explain a problem that could be rectified by forwarding my original email to a techie. However the tech team apparently don't have an email address as they're from ye olde Middle Ages..!
Anyways I digress.
So I tried sync to pc, but instead of showing the file as ready to listen/use/view, the iCloud symbol shows and I'm back to square one as the item is unable to download..
At frustration station waiting for a train from pain...
All my software is up to date, and had all worked fine prior to the last big iOS update that resulted in all the changes in display and dismay.
Answers in a postcard :-)
Much love

How do I save emails with graphics into documents appear as broken page tried saving as html and all files

I am using Windows 7, and ISP provider is AOL 9.5 dialup.
When I attempt to save emails with graphics to My Documents,
any graphics, usually in body of email as a bitmap or jpeg file, when I reopen email from My Documents, the graphics appear blank, as if a broken/torn page. Is there some settings I need to adjust on Firefox to be able to save complete files.

I'm not a Mac user, that's my caveat, however there is a button on the ribbon for SharePoint Document Libraries on the Library Tab called Connect To Office.
If that works with Office 2011 you'll start seeing your SharePoint site as a place where you can store documents in Office.
Otherwise, you need to click "New" in teh library itself and have SharePoint open Office for you.

Nokia e63 save email attachment as text file

When I receive email with text document attached and select save, it is always saved in office notes. While this is probably a reasonable thing to do, the problem is that I cannot find the saved file using file manager. So this text document becomes unavailable for other installed programs. Answers to following questions would help mightily:
1. How to save email attachment to specified folder (any attachment)?
2. How to save note from Menu->Office->Notes to some specified folder?
3. Where Menu->Office->Notes stores the notes? (Active Notes stores them in folder called ActiveNotes in root folder)
4. Is it possible to remove this program, since its features are completely covered by Active notes?

The email client saves attachments to the folder Others if you choose 'save' from the menu. Notes cannot be individually accessed, they're a some kind of database hidden deep into your phone. To save your note to some folder the only thing you can do is copy and paste it to Quick Office and save it from there.
You can't remove the Notes program. I've moved all my notes to Active Notes and use the memory card to store them. As you said, Active Notes does all that Notes does, and more. Notes just starts up a few milliseconds faster

Can you save an mp3 file that you receive as an attachment to an email?

Can you save an mp3 file you receive as an attachment to an email?

Irwinwilliam-
With other attachments, you can press and hold on the attachment icon. One of the options that may appear is "Open In". Choosing that, any App that is capable of reading the attachment should show up as a choice. When opening the document that way, a copy is transferred to the App. I have not tried with an MP3 file.
For MP3, I think the Music App should be a choice. If so, the file should then appear with your other music.
If an inappropriate App appears in "Open In", you may be able to use it as a conduit to transfer the attachment to your computer. Run iTunes on your computer with the iPad connected. Select the iPad under DEVICES, and click on Apps at the top of the window. Scroll down to File Sharing and select that App. If successful, your document will appear to the right in the Documents window, where you can select it and Save As.

Changing web-hosts, do I need to save email files on computer, before the MX records get switched?

Hi,
Recently I changed web-hosts and still have my email accounts set up with my old web-host, with the MX records pointing to the old servers.
I set up Thunderbird accounts and opened my existing email accounts through IMAP, it shows all current email and files, that I want to keep.
My questions are-
Do I need to save my email files on my computer first or on Local Folders on TB?
Once the MX records are pointing to new web-host, then add back the files?
Thank you for help!

Providing you can still access the old server and emails are still there.
Synchronise your mail folders to get a copy of the server folders onto your computer.
Then stop synchronising.
go into Offline mode.
Move emails into Local Folders.
emails in Local Folders will be stored on your computer.
When all emails are safely in Local folders, then you can delete the mail account.
Be aware that if the emails have been removed from the server and you synchronise with the 'empty' server, then your Thunderbird folders will get updated to match the server and you will lose those emails.
Also in Offline mode you could create a backup of those emails.

Plugin wanted to save emails as .rtf files and automatically rename them

I've just changed from a PC to a MAC. On the PC I had a plug in for Microsoft Outlook called Message Save by Techhit for saving emails
http://www.techhit.com/messagesave/
It allowed me to quickly save emails to any folder on my hard drive as a .txt file and it automatically created a name with the date, to, from and subject fields.
Is there anything similar for Apple Mail? Doing File > Save As and renaming them myself is too slow.
Thanks

How can I migrate my Thunderbird email to Outlook 2013 on a new computer? I am told I need to save the Thunderbird files as psd files - how do I do that?

I saw the instructions for moving email from Thunderbird to Outlook 2013 via gmail files but I have lots of folders. Microsoft says that if I can save the Thunderbird files as psd files, Outlook will read them. But I cannot see how to do this. Is it possible?

Do you have a link to the guidance that suggests you save to "psd" files?
I wonder if it actually said "pst" files - these are the proprietary file format used by Outlook. But you'll probably have to pay for a conversion utility.

I can not save an email to file using XPS Writer. I'm using Windows 7 . Works fine with Internet Explorer?

When I try to perform this function of saving an email to file using Windows 7 XPS Writer. I receive a message stating that Firefox is not responding. XPS Writer is working using Internet Explorer?

I've seen this error with Chrome. Are you using IE and is it updated?
I'm a self-taught noob amateur. Please take this into account when responding to my posts or when taking advice from me.
