[raw] MailSaver automates the process of saving a selection of Apple Mail messages to custom-named files.

“I have numerous client e-mails in Apple Mail that I need to save before I archive the client’s data, but Mail does not let me save a batch of messages individually with customized filenames. How can I do that?”

“I want to save e-mails with the same filename format every time I save a message. How can I do that automatically?”

MailSaver

Sit back and watch MailSaver use AppleScript to save all your Mail messages with filenames of your choosing automatically – for only $4.99!

Save Mail messages to one of five file types (PDF, RTF, RTFD, TXT, or EML) with filenames formatted by you using each message’s properties. Use common date formatting to fine-tune Date properties. Save attachments in a folder named the same as the e-mail message file. And, track processing with detailed logs. Save files, attachments, and logs in folders you choose.

Features

• Five output file types.  Use Mail to save files to any of five file types: Portable Document Format (PDF), Rich Text Format (RTF), Rich Text Format with Embedded Attachments (RTFD), Plain Text (TXT), or, Raw Source E-mail (EML).
• Create unique message filenames from each message’s properties. MailSaver insures file and folder name uniqueness while including any of the following e-mail message properties:
  

  id	all headers
  mailbox	content
  date received	date sent
  deleted status	flagged status
  flag index	junk mail status
  read status	message id
  source	reply to
  message size	sender
  subject	was forwarded
  was redirected	was replied to
  recipients	to recipients
  cc recipients	bcc recipients
  current date (your computer’s current date)
  extension (the saved file type extension)

• User options.
  

  Custom filename format string.

  User-defined format property delimiter (the unique text that separates message properties in the filename format string).

  Save attachments to a folder with the same name as the message file, and, to a user defined or default folder.

  Write processing progress, notes, and errors to a user defined or default log file.

  Append or overwrite log files.

  Save output files, attachments, and log file in the same or separate folders.

• Progress logs. Record detailed information about file and attachments output, including:
  

  Size, id, date received, specified sort field and value, and subject of each e-mail message.

  Size, length of filename, and POSIX name of output file.

  Size, count, and complete POSIX path of folder of saved attachments.

  Size, mime type, id, download status, and name of each saved attachment.

  Count of processed and unprocessed e-mail messages.

  Log name defaults to name of its folder — where the output files are written.

  Sort messages according to Mail’s front message viewer’s sort column and sort order for easier reading in the log file.

• Unlimited date formatting. Format dates using PHP-like date formatting syntax.
• Saved preferences. Filename format and user options are preserved between MailSaver uses.
• MailSaver does not alter or delete Mail messages.

Installation

Download the MailSaver.dmg disk image installer. Double-click to open the disk image and drag the MailSaver icon to the Application folder. You may also make MailSaver.app available in Mail’s menu bar by placing an alias to it in the Mail Scripts folder (in “/Library/Scripts/Mail Scripts” on your startup drive).

How to Use

• Select the Apple Mail messages you want MailSaver to process.
• Start the MailSaver application:
  1. Choose the output file type from the list of output options.
  2. Confirm the filename format or change processing options.
  3. Choose the folder location of the output files, attachments and log.
• Let MailSaver do the work! After processing, the selected messages will be re-selected in the Mail message viewer and a dialog appears with processing results.

How to Format Filenames

Include message properties in the format string by writing the property name as the first entry between two delimiters. Place property formatting commands immediately adjacent and to the right of the property name. Examples (the delimiter here is the pipe character “|”):

Format String	File Name (without type extension)
|DATE RECEIVEDYmd-His| |SENDER| |SUBJECT|	20160214-095236 Mike Jones <mikej@server.com> My financial statements
|DATE SENTymd-His| |ALL HEADERSDelivered-To: | Subject: |SUBJECT|	160214-095236 Jim Baker <jbaker@mycompany> Subject_ My financial statements
