Hiho, following a tricky malware experience, I have to safe data - including all e-mails of an e-mail-account where my access is temporarily restricted (German Corona state support is delayed for a couple of month, again, hence accessing accounts of provider might be restricted ...). Even if I give-up the e-mail-account permanently for the lack of flexibility of the provider, I would like to archive the mails for further work-related use: info about networks, texts and work, contracts, etc. Is there any opportunity to archive e-mails offline/ without provider-access? I am happy to answer any more question. Thanks in advance for your support! Best, Jules PS: in the picture you can see that I already prepared the "archive", and "told" the marked e-mails to be "archive" - but the folders remained nearly empty - which I explained myself with missing e-mail-access.

Create subfolders of Local Folders and copy messages there, where they will be available even if the mail account is discontinued or removed from TB.
