ePADD has the ability to import email from local email files in the MBOX format. Local email files are often found within a transfer from a creator's hard drive or have been exported from an email system. If the content is not in the MBOX format, you will need to convert it using Emailchemy first. Proceed to the Emailchemy conversion documentation, if that is that case. (link)
- Click the browse button and navigate to the location of the file in the pop-up window and select the MBOX file or folder. Then click confirm.
- If you have other files or folders include, you can click "add folder" and repeat step 1.
- If finished, scroll to the bottom of the page and click next. You can now proceed to the folder selection section.
...
If you are fairly certain that your transfer was successful and are ready to continue processing, you can begin by reviewing the content using the reviewing for restrictions , found in this sectiondocumentation. (link) Once that is completed, you can start the steps below.
If you don't have time to process the email within the next 30 days, you should export the email to the submission drive using the export module found on the top of the page.
Exporting files
- Create a folder on the submission drive with the standard digital package name based on the accession number which this email is found, for instance, 2022_060acc.
- Start with the "Export to next ePADD module" section and browse to the location in the submission drive you created in step 1 and click confirm.
Click export.
Note title Note If you assigned "do not transfer" labels to material, they will be excluded from the export. In order to do steps 4 and 5 below, you will have to go to the ePADD processing module and export the MBOX file there using the set of files you exported in steps 1-3 above. If the email you are working on falls into this category, proceed to the ePADD processing documentation. (link)
- Go to the export messages in MBOX format and choose "Export all messages" from the dropdown menu and click export.
- A box should pop up giving you an "saying Downloading..." and then it will give you the option about where to save the files. Choose the same folder as the one you created in step 1.
- Once saved, proceed to the Preparing for Archivematica section.
