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 .....

Really nice of you folks to tell me i've registered this software - the open it and have it demand registration - for a fee.

I have mbx files, so this will not archive my Eudora mail. Add mbx emails.

MAKE IT PORTABLE

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 !

Forgot to ask, how long is this program good for, not obvious to me? Permanent with no upgrades? Thanks!

Filters contains many options like recipent, sender, etc...

I suggest to add a filter option based on keywords from emails text body or tags of emails.

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!

Bummer Program does not activate with program open or program closed then try to activate. Using Windows 10.

Install program activate.exe does not register the program. No registration key and when click on about it asks you to purchase. Bummer

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.

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.

Something named "Total Mail Converter" that doesn't handle Outlook? Totally misnamed and uninstalled.

I have been using Mailstore for years.It has saved me more than once. Free Email Archiving Software for Home Users. http://www.mailstore.com/en/mailstore-home-email-archiving.aspx

If you download Cutepdf, you can highlight your outlook emails and save them as pdf files. Easy!

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.

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.

Anyone manged to make it work? I pointed the program to my Outlook PST files but it cannot open anything. If I press one of my Outlook a PST file within Total Mail Converter, it jump to Outlook which then shows a message saying "Outlook data files must be open from within Outlook" ???

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.

Have to say that I do not really understand why people should think that it is a good idea to pay 50 bucks for something you can do with, Ctrl+A - Ctrl+C - Ctrl+V.

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.

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.
