Installed & registered okay but reports that my Outlook 2016 is the wrong file type (I converted .ost, not listed, to .pst) with a clickable link to a supposed fix but that link is a dead link ..... Oh well the idea sounded good; so much for that .....

The real purpose of such software is to convert mail messages to a standard office format such as pdf.
Even Office 365 with the latest Outlook has no built-in auto save to formats readable and printable outside of Outlook.
Batch saving, i.e. the contents of a whole folder, means messages strung one after the other in one .txt file. Lovely.

Would it cost Microsoft a phenomenal licence fee to implement batch saving to pdf, especially as with lease software one is more or less tied to pay an annual fee? No, it would not even need to push up the price. The private user gets the whole office software thrown into the package but Outlook, their mail client, is in some ways oversized but for practical use very, very basic.

So, very pleased to add another extension to the home office work suite with today's Giveaway.
Thank you !

I am not sure that this registered. I'm a Thunderbird user, btw. So I installed the program and than ran the GCD activation file, but I'm still seeing that in Help section where there are submenu items for Registration and About, that there's no Registration code for that item (I assume there would be?) and in the About section it shows Giveawayoftheday but no license/code and still has the Buy Now button activated (which leads to the website where you can purchase the sw). So.....is this now activated with full features or not? Is there some other step I have to do or have I followed the sequence incorrectly? I have tons of emails, anything that would help with the handling is appreciated. Thanks!

When I share an e-mail, I always forward them, why convert then save it, then start new e-Mail then add it as an attachment and then send it again.

This program is not for forwarding emails. It is for saving them and working with them outside an email program. For instance, you can batch convert hundreds of client correspondence emails into .doc files that you can then keep in folders on your system. You will then be able to refer to, preview, and view without having to go into any email program.

You would think that an email converter would automatically locate your email files, or at least give you a search function to locate the files. Not so. When you open the program, you're shown a directory tree of your whole computer. What am I looking for? .PST files? No, because they're not supported. The online video is useless because it makes you think it automatically locates your files in a folder called "emails". But the "emails" folder shown doesn't exist on my computer. No thumbs up from me.

I'm having trouble figuring out this myself, no 'emails' folder for me either so their video tutorial is totally useless!
Now I've gone to the effort of downloading it and trying to learn how to use it I guess next step is contacting the company. Wish they'd make a comment here, as this issue makes their product seem extremely hard to use - for almost $50 you think the least they could do is bring up your email files!

I wonder just how long have you been using Outlook and do you know that .pst or .ost files are databases from which the individual messages need to be extracted first to allow conversion?

You sound like my former boss who also damned and got rid of the electronic roll towel dispenser by his washbasin in the office because his first attempt at changing the roll jammed the machine and that was that.

After I uninstalled Total Mail Converter I installed the same firm's Total Outlook Converter. The latter found all my emails and I tested it successfully by extracting all the emails in a sub folder to a Word document. As I said, Total Mail Converter is misnamed. It implies something that simply is not true. Do I know about pst files? I built my first computer in the early eighties and started using it with hexadecimal that I had to type in each time because there was no permanent storage. Yes, I do know about pst files even if I'm not their greatest fan.

Worked like a charm. I'm using Windows 7 Home Premium 64. I converted some old Outlook Express eml files to PDF, DOC and MSG files. Conversion was quick and content looks great.

Reply   |   Comment by weezer  –  8 years ago  –  Did you find this comment useful? yes | no (-6)

To make things clear: the software does not process Outlook Express dbx files, but only emls, i.e. mail files extracted from the default Outlook Express database (dbx).

The converter does not process Outlook pst files, either, only msg files extracted from Outlook pst files.

Instead, they offer other applications that are allegedly able to process dbx or pst files, but it is, as for me, quite overpriced as compared to free utilities capable of doing the same job.

This means that Outlook Express and Outlook users first need to extract files to – respectively – the eml or msg format and then – using this GAOTD – may enjoy having them converted to pdf, doc, html etc. file formats. As for me, that’s quite a tedious process.

Actually, I do not see any sensible reason to install and use the software, except where you have time to extract files from default mail-client databases only to have them converted to various formats with allegedly sophisticated layout the developer seems to offer. If you are not interested in such layouts and simple conversion will suffice, then you may get the same effect just using print options that – in most cases offers the printout at least in the pdf and html formats, and that are available directly from your mail cilent.

"I do not see any sensible reason"
I do try repair some computers and sometimes Windows mistakes. Also user mistakes.
Quit often I find files(eml). In the time, that Outlook Express was working, no point.
Nowadays, Win7 . . Win10 these files can't be opened any more.
Today I found some old files:

loaded them in today's program:

And the result:

Your suggestion of printing in PDF is much better, if you are still using that software.
I have met people, that print messages with the printscreen-key and scissors.

Where emails are concerned, archiving to the cloud is -- for example -- a problem, because as a relative of mine found out to her cost, you can wind up with dozens of the things which you've carefully uploaded to backup folders. . . only to discover that none can be read because they're (literally) outside the email client.

Instead, there's just a list of emails with subject lines that don't necessarily mean that much but all of which have to be downloaded again in order to figure out exactly what they're about. Life gets no more tedious than that.

I'm on Windows 7 running the Vista version of Windows Mail (far superior to the awful Live Mail) so all my emails are in the .eml format. Google obligingly keeps an extensive cache for me at no charge, whilst for backing up to Cloud storage, I simply "print" important email correspondence using the excellent free Bullzip PDF "printer". I can then, whenever I wish, check my Cloud account(s) and immediately read the emails there online in pdf form.

Total Mail Converter's capabilities are obviously more comprehensive than a free PDF converter but as it's up against not only freeware printers like Bullzip and Windows' own excellent -- though strangely little known -- Snipping Tool (in Windows 7: can't speak for any other OS) for screen capturing / jpeg image viewing, it's difficult to see a case for its $50 re-install cost.

Thanks GOTD, and thanks, too, to Total Mail Converter, but I'll pass.

What I like about coolutils is that most (if not, all) their tools have commandline functionality, meaning you can let the application work from commandline without having to load and interact with the main interface.
Within Total Mail Converter, in the menu above go to: "Help" >> then "Command line parameters" and look at the options you have it's not just plain conversion...

I do a lot of exporting from thunderbird so I might have a use for this in the future, I just downloaded it and installed it, backed it up and then removed it.

I think their 99$ offer is fro their WHOLE suite of applications.
https://www.coolutils.com/ProSuite
Which is something to think about if you have the cash, you can save yourself a lot of time by using the command line options within those applications (some scripting experience needed).

And to GOTD, get rid of the "Idea Informer" process of submitting ideas OR have seperate inputfield directly below the GOTD inputfield in which ideas are directly send to "Idead Informer" the moment the user presses the blue "Comment" button.

The "Idea informer" forces the user to have an account there and the input method (one line inputfield first then submit!?) is just irritating.

Not overly impressed. Too restricted in the type of email that can be converted, and does anyone really need conversion into all those different formats? Would have preferred to be able to convert according to email client name - Becky, The Bat!, Postbox etc.
Also seems to need another application in order to automate.
A shame, because I think there's an opportunity for this type of software. Not everyone uses Outlook, and some of us have tested many email clients over the years looking for the ideal one, and in so doing have accumulated mails in different formats.

Simple to install and register, end of simple.

Had no joy at all with my Gmail account as it appears to be catering for Microsoft's Outlook files, MSG and EML.

Surprised it did not connect directly with my e-mail provider, but instead the e-mails must be saved onto the hard disk. Not such an easy task in Gmail, but the link provided may help some.
https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/gmail/77es4rS3H7Qv

In my fumbling around I did try to convert some image files, but was informed I should use their image file converter.
In fact everything I tried to convert seems to need another of their converters.

This is my first experience of programs of this type so is a bit like the blind leading the blind, but unless I am mistaken it is not much use to people like myself who do not use Outlook.

Going to wait in the hope that someone who knows what hell they're doing can help me in its use. :-)

1. Even though I installed the program, and the gotd successful installation window appeared, the program menu continues to prompt for a registration code and to offer to sell for $99.

2. I use Thunderbird. From within the program, I navigated to the Thunderbird email folders. From there on, no matter what I do, including the selection of folders, I get the message that no files have been selected.

3. Using Windows 10, I cannot run the program from the start menu because it does not appear there. I can only run it from a link on the desktop.

4. The pdf help file at the assocated website gives no helpful guidance.

5. Although the promotional material says that the program works with Thunderbird, it looks like it is actually geared to Outlook.

actually Windozes, even #10, allow attaching links to the Start menu.
#10 is very auch a retrograde step in looks but a one click operation
is all it takes to attach to Start.
Though I'm Outlook-bound I know to export messages to in my case msg files, with previous mail clients it was eml format.
I cannot but think that Thunderbird too has export facility.
What us users would love to have, viz. just going to the mail client folder copy and delete messages to our hearts content, and I say that really smacks of a conspiracy !!, thisis not possible -- because there is not a single message there. So, where are they all??
Nicely packaged, just have to unwrap.IMAP or not, it is certainly worthwhile having backups of important message in PDF Format.
As I actually have a real licence of this mail converter I would keep it if I were you. It works 100 % with MS Outlook.
BTW Thunderbird is on the way out. Mozilla said so.

The reply to my original post has made it possible for me to get substantial value from this program.

1. The program does what it claims very efficiently and effectively.

2. If you have a large volume of important email, this program can be used to periodically unburden your email client/server.

3. With regard to Thunderbird, Windows has an option for including Thunderbird emails in the Windows search facility. What they not tell you is that if you select that option, Windows creates a huge number of files that burden your system and backup facilities. With this program you can avoid that burden by merging individual small files into topical, self indexed large files.

4. The authors of the program would be well advised to write a how-to article showing imaginative ways in which file conversion can be used to enhance search, archive and presentation. Those who have dismissed this program as being not useful, ought review the program settings relating to date output. [The program is probably not very useful to people who do not have an archival or commercial or research interest in their email, but even they may periodically get some use out of it.]

5.
