Hello,

I saved an email (from Mail on Windows 10) in my folders.
How can I get the file or print it by right-clicking?
Thank you for your help.

Configuration: Windows / Chrome 85.0.4183.102

    Hello,

    You cannot do anything from the file explorer: there is no "Save As" or "Print" option.

    When you click on the eml file, Windows will suggest opening it with an email client:
    If your email client is Mail, you won't be able to do anything either, as this software is very limited (generally, it's considered a real piece of junk!).

    Use Thunderbird, which has many more possibilities: https://www.thunderbird.net/fr/

    Thunderbird will open the eml file.
    In the File tab, you will find Print; click on it.
    Do not use your regular printer but select Microsoft Print to PDF from the list of offered printers.
    This will create a PDF file.
    Note! If there are attachments in the email, they will not be included in the PDF.

    Later, you can configure Thunderbird to receive your mail.
