Web-based mail services store your data on the server. To import it into
EagleFiler, you must first get it onto your Mac. To do this, you can:
- Connect to the mail account using a mail client and then import from that
client into EagleFiler. This is described in the Importing Mail
section.
- Export individual messages from Webmail to .eml files and then import
them into EagleFiler. In Gmail, this is possible with the Show
Original command. Other mail providers may call it Show Raw Source.
- Export
whole mailboxes
from Webmail to mbox format and then import the mbox files to EagleFiler.
For example, with Gmail you can export mailboxes using the Takeout feature.
- If your Webmail does not work with mail clients and does not have an
export feature, you can drag and drop the message text from your Web
browser, use File ‣ Save to save messages into EagleFiler’s To
Import folder, or print and choose Save PDF to EagleFiler.
