The subject line of the email is used for the filename of the email.

You can pick a subset of email to archive if you like.

Great idea for a backup solution, but I am having problems.
Tried using it under 10.6.5, but the application keeps getting stuck. A semi-transparent black window pops open, I press the "Archive" button, then I get an evolving dialog: 50 email PDFs created ... 100 email PDFs created ...
But then the app seems to stall (at one time at 100 emails, next time 350 emails) and nothing happens. Activity Monitor doesn't see a problem, no hints in Console. Tried quitting Mail and Email Archiver and launching again, and it got once again stuck at 350. Any hints? Would be a great utility if it worked.

I liked the look of this so dowloaded it. Sorry to say it quits immediately upon hitting the 'archive' buttton. Tried it several times with the same result. Into the bin it went.

Sorry, but the latest version (1.0.2) downloaded today is still crashing after hitting the "archive" button.

I know that the crash that happened in 1.0.1 is fixed in 1.0.2, but likely something else is happening in your case.

Could you please send a crash report or more details to the support email, contact@spotdocuments.com? Thanks. Tom

Well I hope you like it. Feel free to test it. I wanted to re-iterate that this does not alter any files in Library/Mail, or make any changes to Mail.app or its prefs, etc. I have 70,000 emails archived with it, which took some hours the first time through, but now runs in about a minute or two every day.
One other reason I made this is that old emails just have this habit of disappearing. A slip on an IMAP setting can for instance erase lots of email, which mail.app will dutifully recreate on your hard drive. --Tom

Running this set lots of alerts on Liitle Snitch where the program (Email Archiver) was trying to connect to various url's.

I suspect, by looking at the url's, that this in not being done on purpose, however for a non Little Snitch (or other similiar package) user they would not know this is happening.

The application works by rendering your email into PDF files. So any email that has html content that requires a trip to the real internet will download that content in order to render the email. There is no way around that. The exact same things would need to be downloaded if you Quick Looked the email or viewed it in Mail.app. --Tom

Works only with Mail.app on OS X.

Does not require any changes, OS hooks, or other shenanigans to run. It simply creates nice, rendered versions of each email in your Library/Mail/ folder.

The resulting archive is suitable for backing up with Time Machine, or using the Spot Documents system to host it online.

Useful to create archives of emails for legal purposes.

We developed this software so that archive - quality copies of emails could be hosted on Amazon S3. But since it just makes a nice neat collection of PDFs of your email, you might use it in other ways.
