Chosen solution

This is something that is probably not straight forward or easy.

What you can easily do is copy the email as displayed in Firefox and save that. One of two main methods

  1. Select and copy the text. You will need to paste that in to a suitable file. You will need to check that there are not attatchments for instance that are missed.
  2. Save the webmail page as a webpage. That will normally generate a file and a folder.

The simplest workaround may be to make sure you have copied the emails to other accounts or people & or printed then out.
