Export single email from FM
Is there a way to export a single email from Fastmail? Many IMAP clients have the ability to do that (they often use .eml or .txt format).
At this point, I have abandoned the use of IMAP clients and use the web interface (via an SSB) exclusively and if I don't have to I'd rather not keep an IMAP client around and synced with FM just so that occasionally I can export an individual email. |
It is not quite as easy as it used to be. The best way now is:
|
While you view the mail, click on More in the top right corner of the mail. Then click Show Raw Message.
Save the raw message by pressing CTRL + S or selecting Save in your browser. The saved file is a valid eml file which can be opened in other mail applications. |
@BritTim Thanks! It's certainly not as straightforward as would be ideal, but it works!
And @Cox, thanks for your tip. That seems even simpler (as long as a .txt version is sufficient, which it typically is for my purposes) I'll use both methods, depending on whether I need to preserve the original HTML formatting or not. |
The method I use ....
While in the email that you want to export, click "More" and "Forward as an attachment" A new email in the compose screen will be created with the wanted email shown as an attachment. Click on the attachment and it will be downloaded as an EML file to your computer. |
@Gardenweed...Oooh, I think I like this best of all! Thanks!

I would like to see an FAQ sticky on this forum and this would definitely merit inclusion. Thanks to all who contributed. :)
