Translations:Aanbevolen bestandsformaten om je digitaal archief leesbaar te houden/56/en

Emails can be saved in different ways. If entire mailboxes are being saved, it's best to opt for the MBOX format. It is, however, recommended to also save important emails (with high informative value for a project) separately in the project dossier. EML format is best for this. Also always save attachments separately from the email. Gmail has functions for exporting emails or saving them in EML and MBOX. Outlook uses application-specific formats, such as PST and MSG, which are not durable. To save Outlook mailboxes, it is therefore best to use an email client like Thunderbird.
