Saving messages in FirstClass

Messages expire after 30 days and are then deleted by FirstClass. If you want to save an email longer than 30 days, you can save that message to your computer.

1 Open the message. You must open the message, rather than just selecting it, or the list containing the message will be saved instead.

2 Choose File > Save As. This will save the message as a plain text file.

3 Choose the location and name for the saved file. It would be a good idea to create a folder named “email” in your SAVE folder.

4 Be sure to rename the file so that you’ll remember what it is.

5 Click Save.
