Use Email Archiver to create an archive of all your emails, or just a few folders.

How it works.

Email Archiver works with Apple's Mail for OS X, storing your emails as PDFs. It makes them compatible anywhere you can open up a PDF, not just with Mail. Emails are stored hierarchically in the same way that your email is organized in Mail.app. Email archiver makes no changes to your Mail Folders. It simply scans through your thousands of email messages, creating a PDF for each one.

The PDFs created have the full email header embedded into the PDF for searching

Great little app for archiving your entire Mail.app contents. I was using Filemaker but that creates bloat, as with any database solution. Email Archiver converts each email with all downloaded attachments and html layouts, as PDF. Easily searched with Spotlight or other Finder search engine.

I'm sorry for the negative tone of my previous post. The developer actually answered my email regarding that issue I'm mentioned before and informed me that it is in fact due to a bug in Safari which should be fixed in a month or so.

I've advised him to warn users about this situation in the product's webpage.

This is a piece of junk. -- The links in your HTML emails are NOT stored in the PDF as links!

So say bye bye to the URLs in all your links. Ridiculous.

I'm very, very disappointed with this software. -- What's the point of adding a "save a message as PDF" feature (added recently), if it does exactly the same as the "Print | Save as PDF" standard Mac command?!

Sorry for the double post. -- It seems like the posts here take a while to show up, and I didn't know that.

It's simple and works as advertised.
The only issue is the size of the archive.
I just archived a 1.4 meg mailbox, and the resulting archive folder is 14 meg.
I'm giving it 5 stars since it does what it is supposed to.
Am I missing something as to what the benefit of archiving is?

One other problem is that the pdf files don't show the complete header.

last night sometime late and after midnight on May 5, i saw Email Archiver was listed as free in the Store News app — said it was previously $9.99US. so i clicked on Email Archiver in the Store News app which then opened up the App Store app and it was, and still is as of May 5, listed as free. i couldn’t find any good reviews in the App Store app so i came here to macupdate and at that time there were no reviews and the app was listed as $9.99US — but it is listed as free now. the developer’s website says it’s $9.99US and only available at the App Store. so this is all confusing. if you think you might have a need for an app like this one, i would dl it now while it is free and you can always trash it later if it doesn’t do what you need it to do.

i’ve been keeping an eye out for a good email archiving app as of late and was hoping i could find some good, thorough reviews for Email Archiver but have found none. there is a pretty straight-forward 5-page pdf here: http://www.spotdocuments.com/downloads/EmailArchiverManual.pdf
but i was really wanting some first-hand accounts from people who have used this app.

i like the way Email Archiver claims to save emails as pdfs. the manual also tells how to keep Email Archiver from making duplicate pdfs for imap email accounts like google.

i have about 7,000 emails in 7 different email accounts and would like to archive each email account in its own folder. i downloaded Email Archiver and would be interested in any feedback from someone who has used it — i haven’t yet. i would also be interested in hearing about any alternative archiving email clients from users, free or paid, as i am ready to make a move to start archiving my emails. Email Archiver looks promising but i don’t think it can archive individual email accounts yet.

as a side note, here’s an interesting article on how to make gmail play well with Apple Mail: http://www.macworld.com/article/157846/2011/03/mailgmail.html#lsrc.nl_macweek_t_crawl

i know macupdate has the best reviewers and people who know really good applications. it is my hope one of you will wonder across my comment and have some time to leave some information on email archiving applications.

I'm using it for free; where did you get the $9.99 from?

Email Archiver works with Apple's Mail for OS X, storing your emails as PDFs. It makes them compatible anywhere you can open up a PDF, not just with Mail. Emails are stored hierarchically in the same way that your email is organized in Mail.app. Email archiver makes no changes to your Mail Folders. It simply scans through your thousands of email messages, creating a PDF for each one.

The PDFs created have the full email header embedded into the PDF for searching purposes. Also, all attachments that are displayed online, such as photos, etc are displayed in the PDF. Any emails with attachments have a folder with the same name including the attachments right beside the PDF. PDFs use the subject line and the message ID to create a unique, readable file name for the file. Subsequent scans with Email Archiver only add new emails, and thus perform faster.
