I wrote a KM workflow that does this using Mail’s Save of PDF menu item, and also exports the entire raw email message and then parses out attachments to save in separate files (I don’t do this part in AppleScript because there are bugs in AppleScript’s ability to save mail attachments that Apple has not fixed in multiple OS versions). Use a workflow of printing emails to PDF and saving attachments in separate files.I also have multiple email addresses and providers including gmail, my own email server (hosted by an outside ISP), several accounts in related to different businesses, etc, and I want the email to all be stored in one archive. The reason is that as things change and evolve, some email providers also change and I may no longer be using a particular email system a year from now. I don’t want to simply rely on the archive function in Apple Mail or something similar, because my goal is to create this email store outside of any current email provider I am using. This is not necessarily the same thing has having an email related to a specific task or project that I choose to store in a file in a folder of other documents related to this project, but rather a simple/quick/low effort way to archive everything before I delete it. I want to be able to essentially archive my emails, in the sense of having pretty much anything that I might need to find again someday available. I’m not sure why I am having such a hard time figuring this out… Still, I am still struggling with this question and so I am soliciting thoughts and advice once again. ![]() Let’s hope Apple sees the opening in the market and powers up Notes a bit more.This has been discussed here a number of times previously, including by me, and this is not the first time I’ve brought this up. And the lack of folder-level collaboration is a deal breaker. But unfortunately, these three missing features make Notes too weak for me. I would like to be able to replace Evernote with Apple Notes not because I don’t like Evernote, but because it doesn’t seem like a long-term solution, and because Notes is there on everything I use. I find it more useful to have the full content of a page to be able to find things by searching for keywords. Evernote’s web clipper – a browser extension that lets you save a web page to Evernote with a couple of clicks – is one of the most powerful parts of the app.(You can select text and open the Font panel to change formatting, but that takes a lot longer than using Evernotes’ formatting bar.) Most people don’t need that many style options, but Notes is extremely simplistic, offering a half-dozen fixed styles and no easy way to apply alternate formatting. Evernote essentially lets you style documents as you would in a word processor. They could provide some more advanced styling tools.Currently, you can share notes, and have to share each one individually with an email or iMessage. ![]() They could add shared folders (the equivalent of notebooks in Evernote), allowing it to be more easily used for collaboration. ![]() Apple could supercharge this app to make it more useful for “pro” users fairly easily, without turning it into the bloatware that is Microsoft OneNote. Perhaps the departure of “many executives” will lead to it being bought up by another company, and preventing its death, but it doesn’t look good, since they’re slashing their prices to get and retain users.Īpple Notes is a great tool – if you’re locked into the Apple platforms – but I can’t use it for what I want for several reasons. (And you don’t need to use a web browser to access it.)īut reading this article on The Verge, it looks like Evernote may not last long. And unlike, say, Google Docs, with Evernote, you can have all your content stored offline. It’s great for the latter, because you can share a notebook, which means that every note you add to that notebook is also shared automatically. I’ve been using Evernote for a few years, both as a repository of snippets and documents, and a tool for collaboration.
