By default that will open back up in Mail and display the email just as it was originally looked. The first one is Raw Message Source which sounds like it's really techy and not very useful. If you go to File, Save As, you'll see three of those. Now there are basically three different ways to export messages from Mail. Some receipts and an email with some very important information in a complex layout that you definitely want to save as is. I have a bunch of examples here for us to look at from email with just some basic text information to some email with complex images and layout. Then how you can organize your important messages this way rather than inside of Mail. Let's look at the different ways you can export email from the Mail app and how easy it is. I can choose from several different ways of exporting email and save the message in an appropriate way. I could put them in the Cloud and view them across devices. When I get an important email I don't keep it in the Mail app. Then I hear of people upgrading or changing their email service or changing the app they use and then loosing the email that they've carefully curated and put in certain places in the Mail app. Then your email is only available on your Mac. Syncing with the server using something like iMap or downloading everything using POP. You can choose to get email in different ways. iCloud is a little different than gmail, is different that Yahoo and is different than your local ISP. Email services all work a little different. This is because typically email is caught inbetween being on your computer and being on the email service that you use.

You'll have more control over files saved to your hard drive than you do to email saved in the Mail app.

A better way to do it is to save them as files. I don't think this is the best place to save important emails or even not so important emails that you want to refer to once in awhile. So all too often I hear people saving important email messages to special mailboxes or folders inside of the Mail app. There you could read more about the Patreon Campaign. MacMost is supported by viewers just like you.
