Archive Email:
Clicking on the Archive button will bring up this window: ![]() MailSteward will automatically set the beginning date to the date of the most recent email archived in the database. Any email prior to that date will be skipped. This will save time if you have already processed email prior to a given date. Or you can set the date to "All" for month, day, and year, and MailSteward will process all of the email in your account(s). You can also set an ending date. This can be useful if you want to, for example, just store all of the email prior to 2004. Clicking on the Reset All button will reset the beginning and ending dates to "All". Once you have chosen a beginning date and/or ending date, and clicked on the Archive button, MailSteward will begin processing your locally stored email and archiving it into the database. If you have a .mac or other imap account, you must set the account options to keep copies of your email on your local computer. MailSteward does not access email on remote servers. Duplicate email is automatically skipped. If an email is already in the database, it is not archived. However, if the mailbox has changed, or the email tags have changed, they will be updated in the database. While the email is being archived, this window provides continuous feedback: ![]() Clicking on the Stop button will stop the Store operation and save all of the email in the database that has been processed so far. When all of the email has been archived in the database, a window will appear showing some stats about the email that has been archived. This information will also be logged in a archive history file. You can view the archive history by choosing "Archive History" from the File menu. ![]() Depending on the options chosen in the Settings window, MailSteward will store the text, html, raw source, and, optionally, the attachments of your email. Once MailSteward is done archiving the email, you can:
You can view the raw source of the selected email by clicking on the Raw icon ![]() You can also Search for email in the database by any combination of date range, key words, and tags. ![]() |
