Tips and considerations
- When exporting emails, you may want to consider the following:
- The size of your email account: If you have a large number of emails, exporting them all at once may take a long time and use a lot of storage space.
- The format of your exported emails: Different formats may be more suitable for different purposes (e.g., MBOX for importing into another email client, EML for reading in a text editor).
- Any limitations on exporting emails: Some methods may have limitations on the number of emails you can export at once, or may require you to export emails in batches.
