Did any of you consider Mailsteward. I’m using it for some months now. First in combination with Mailsmith, but now with Mail.app. One can schedule mailsteward (Cronjobs) to backup mail from Mail.app. Up until now it’s rock solid and does just what it needs to do: http://www.mailsteward.com/

It would be the best if somebody would make an export which simulates a POP3 server. That you could export mails to anything you want.

[...] If you are using and thinking about a move to Mail.app (or anywhere else), David Hamilton has written a script that exports emails from Mailsmith in a smarter way than the default that comes with Mailsmith itself. [...]

Thanks for the tip, bronson. I still can’t download it, but I’ll try again tomorrow. Is there an alternate link?

Dave:

Another email client that you might look at trying is GyazMail (http://gyazsquare.com/gyazmail/), I’ve only used it in a very limited capacity so I don’t know how it will handle a load but it stores messages as single files (RFC 822 format) so it would be easily exportable.

Dave:

You are able to get your mail out of Mail.app AND keep your mailbox hierarchy. There is a wonderful set of tools by Andreas Amann called ‘Mail Scripts’.

One of the tools in Mail Scripts is the ability to archive your messages into MBX format with the option of maintaining your mailbox hierarchy.

You can find Mail Scripts at http://homepage.mac.com/aamann/Mail_Scripts.html although his site has been down because he just released a new version and he’s maxing out his .Mac bandwidth allotment.

You can get a copy via VersionTracker at http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/16217. You can also read more about Mail Scripts at the Hawkwings website: http://www.hawkwings.net/2006/08/22/mail-scripts-2711-an-outstanding-resource-gets-better/

Good luck and please let us know which direction you go with your email client. This is a very interesting topic.
