    new Feature Mac/Win:

    • Import .eml/.txt Files via Selfstorage: Opolis can now import .eml exported E-Mails from various E-Mail Applications like 'Microsoft Outlook', 'Apple Mail', 'Thunderbird', etc. Function is especially useful after a project started with legacy Mail and is later on switched to Opolis Secure Mail: the complete Message Tree could easily be moved to Opolis.
      • Export single Messages or complete Message Trees/Folders as .eml (sometimes named 'raw E-Mail Format') from the E-Mail Application to the local harddisk. (The File extension of the exported messages has to be .eml!)
      • Open the Opolis SelfStorage Window (Menu:Tools:Open SelfStorage Drop Window)
      • Select all the previous exported Mails and drop them on the SelfStorage Window
      • Opolis will import all these Messages as new SelfStorage Messages (each imported Message becomes a new Opolis Message ("SelfStorage" tagged)
        • the Subject of the imported Message will become the Subject of the Opolis Message
        • Message Sender, Recipient and Date will be inserted before the actual mail Text
        • if the Message to import has a Message Text Part: this text will be used in the new message
        • if the Message has only a HTML Text Part: all HTML Tags will be removed and the extracted Text will be used in the new message
        • if the Importer is not able to detect the message format: the raw format of the message will be used in the new message
        • if the Importer detects attachments: these attachments will be included as Opolis Attachments in the new message
