Translations:E-mails archiveren: hoe en waarom?/23/en

EML and MBOX are the de facto standards for storing emails. These file formats save emails with attachments in accordance with the Internet Message Format (IMF) and can be opened by most email applications and word processing programs. EML saves files separately (one email is one EML file), whereas MBOX can save an entire email archive (one email archive is one MBOX file). MBOX saves an email archive in the email client according to the structure in which the emails are organised. Because MBOX stores an entire email archive in one file, it is difficult to store attachments and emails separately and still maintain the connection between attachments and emails by using the filename, so try to use EML to store important emails in a logical place in your folder structure. . MBOX can however be a useful format when you want to bulk export an email archive, for example when an employee leaves the organisation and wants to transfer all their emails.
