Export email as HTML

I want to take backup of my email. The best way I see is to be able to export all the mails as HTML files, one for each mail, and save them to a seperate disk.

However, I don't see any such options or addons for doing this (Thunderbird or Outlook).

Is there a simple way to do this? Any suggestions are welcome, thanks!

Solution 1:

Perhaps the ImportExportTools for Thunderbird might be just what you need.

Solution 2:

if you are using Outlook 2010 (and i think in the previous version too) you can view the email message in the browser & then from the file -> save as menu save it as html. to view the email in the browser do the following:

• open the message
• in the 'message' tab on the ribbon click on actions
• and then click on 'view in browser'

or follow these keyboard keys (press in that order): ALT, H, A, V

you should see the message in the browser (internet explorer) now & now just save it! :)

hope this helps...
