I can answer question #2 for you. The giveaway here does not have a limit. The limit of 50 emails applies to the free version available from their website.

Kevin Email Detail, sorry cannot provide files as they are confidential and I do not have the right to share them with any 3rd party. Possible reasons could be the winword.exe installed on that system is from Office XP... may be something about that old version you are having trouble interfacing with? I suspect I would not have experienced most of the problems if I had not opted to include the attachments in the final PDF so it would not have had to try and render the attachments into their own PDF pages.

Installed easy, activated easily. A breath of fresh air in that department. Haven't tested yet, it's late and that will have to wait until tomorrow...
I did notice something however. I see that the details for this giveaway indicate it's a 1-year license, however, upon registering the software, it looks like it's going to be closer to 11 months. In the about page, it indicates that the software is, "Active From: Monday, July 20, 2020".
Not that big of a deal, just an observation. Free is free, even if it's a couple weeks shorter than it states.
Save | Cancel
FeMaster, The license does not expire in a year.

Kevin Email Detail,
Thanks for that info. At the top of the webpage here, blue box on the right, under license details, it indicates that it was a 1 year license. Glad to know that it is not.

At $159 a year PLUS VAT! that is VERY expensive for a single function tool!
(just installed it under 32-bit Vista SP2+)
I am very dissapointed that it requires the end user to know where to locate email client specific databases of emails! For the amount of money they are asking they should detect the email clients installed and offer the current stores for common email clients like Outlook, Thunderbird, Eudora, Windows Mail, Windows Mail Live*, Outlook Express... etc IF the developers are expecting end users to have the expertise to know where email client specific databases are located then the chances are they'd also know how to print to PDF files and create their own PDF archives of their email IF they need such! BTW nothing in this program requires Windows 7 or above the exclusion of older versions is just a marketing trick that is a bit behind the times since Windows 7 is also out of support now. There is every possibility that this will install and run under XP SP3... not that the installer installs both 32bit AND 64bit executables and DLL's regardless of what the host build of windows is... at least it creates the shorcuts to the correct executable even if it installs both types. Whoever created the install script for the installer was just plain lazey.
processing a little 523Mbyte PST files contents it's stalled at 18876 of 32855 with no apparent clean way out of the somewhat over populated temp folder with so far 18875 combine_*.pdf files in there with the Cancel button not responding... will have to end task in task manager and clean up all those temporary pdf files it got part way through creating.... seems that it may require more work to make it stable and functional.

TK,
As for the price, we do offer discounts (and even giveaways;). The regular PST converter is around $79 today. Email Detail Archive supports all common email formats (PST, MBOX, EML, MSG, GMAIL, etc.), so it turns out to be a bunch of apps in one.
Email Detail Archive automatically detects Outlook and Thunderbird accounts. It does not detect Windows Mail so far. We will add it in the next release.
Save | Cancel
Kevin Email Detail, It did not detect Outlook 2002, on the machine I tested it on. Yes I know that is an old microsoft abandoned version but it's there and installed. But it is not set as the default MAPI client could that be why it was overlooked?

Will We able to use this software after one year, without any upgrades? or the software will stop working ?
Save | Cancel
Adam,
Yes, you will be able to use the app in a year. The license does not expire. You will not get free upgrades in a year.
Save | Cancel
Kevin Email Detail, for future reference if your license allows indefinate usage on this sites giveaways we consider that a lifetime license. Normally we do not expect any right to free future updates so although many of us were critical of the stated 1 year license believing it to be an expiring usage license it was in fact a better than standard giveaway terms with non-expiring usage license with 1 years of free future updates thrown in... next giveaway for a newer version you may like to specify lifetime usage with 1 year free updates and you and your product will be received far better :-)

Downloaded and installed without problem unfortunately, cannot get this to work with Gmail. After completing details for the application to access my Gmail account and attempt to connect Google initially identifies this as an unauthorised application. You can bypass this but then Gmail blocks the application from accessing their servers, Reloaded the app and completed Gmail details (why doesn't the app store this info?) numerous times and Gmail still refuses access. Also experienced the application crashes as reported by other users.

John McKeown,
You probably have to change your Gmail setting to "Allow Less Secure" access. This needs to be set this way to do just about any type of remote access. I even had to enable it to use Outlook 2013 to access my Gmail account.
Save | Cancel
The use case I'm interested isn't clearly defined here.
I had a program a few years ago which downloaded all the messages from gmail and stored them in a folder in a format they could be reopened using gmail or outlook. That is what I want to do here.
Can I download all my email messages (about five years of gmail and hotmail) and store them in a folder on my hard drive and back them up on an external usb hard drive?
Save | Cancel
jojothehobo, You probably have MBOX files (this is the format Gmail exports all emails to now)/ Email Detail Archive supports MBOX. So try to import whatever you have and see if the app sees the files. Chances are high that it does.
Email Detail Archive helps you save emails as PDF files, it does not help you manage the emails. You are free to move those PDFs later to any location including external usb hard drive.

On the developer's website, the company name used is 2B Software, so I am not sure why the publisher part on this page says EMAIL IN DETAIL.
The company does offer a "free" edition of today's Email Detail Archive, but it is limited to 50 e-mails vs. the unlimited edition we get today. There are some other differences between the free edition and the Business edition that is worthy of knowing also. They have a comparison of the two editions on the product page for this software.
I think it is worth checking out the developer's blog. They have helped a bit during COVID-19, in that many workers are now working from home, and as a result, they might not have access to the software purchased from this developer (2B Software) that is installed on their work computer. In response, 2B Software has provided any of its registered users with an additional license so they can install the software on their home computer.
They also have provided a couple of free tools. One is an OST-to-PST converter. The second one is a tool to View emails without Outlook.
One other thing I liked about this company is that once you purchase the software, there are no subscriptions, although the license is for 1 year. If purchased, I do not know what happens with updates or upgrades within that year.
I was not familiar with the company until we got Total Mail Converter back in May 2020, but learned they formed in 2019. I did not install Total Mail Converter PRO after reading all the comments.
This one installed easy enough. My initial run revealed something I am not sure about why it happened.
Initial results:
I chose the entire C drive as the source. The program searched, found the e-mails, then presented its default settings.
I set a destination for the produced PDF files, but it was not used. Instead, the PDF files were created in C:\msys64\mingw64\lib\tcl8.6\msgs I believe this is due to the program not accepting the destination data until the next step.
I chose a text watermark of "For attorney eyes only" and the page counter on.
The program first stated that it found 195 files, then worked up to 200 before disappearing.
Next, it stated that it was ready to process using the "following settings" which stated 201 items.
On the final conversion string result page, clicking on Open Conversion Log did not open anything. ON the second run, it worked. The log file is a .html file, so creating one in C:\msys64\mingw64\lib\tcl8.6\msgs must be a problem.
After examing the PDF files, I noticed they were named "01. .pdf" through "201. .pdf" but I do not understand why there is a space following the period that is after the number. Regardless, if there were 201 e-mails, I had rather the smaller numbers have leading zeros; that way, at least they would be in order in the directory. I tried selecting the number of digits 3, starting at 1, but there were no leading zeros in the output files.
Of those PDF files, only three had any content. They did include the watermark text at the top. The others had the From: blank, To: blank, Date: with a valid date, Subject: blank, followed by a solid line, then the rest of the page was blank.
I will reserve giving any further detailed performance opinions until I have used it more.

Works well. A good set of options and quite versatile. A bit lacking in documentation. The link to the 'Video Guides' doesn't take you to a video guide and I couldn't find any written documentation.
Thankfully it is fairly intuitive and I managed to guess what the date formats were in the file name section, but documentation would make it a lot easier.
Note that if you are using Outlook, that Outlook has to be closed for the program to work.

Completely painless download and installation, and accepted the registration code right away!
I've been wanting a program like this for quite a while, because I need more options when it comes to my older emails.
Thanks you!

Good idea but software is very fragile. Keeps crashing with Access violation at address 00000000023D62DE in module 'EDArchive64.exe'. Read of address 0000000000000044.
