Email Downloader

The Email Downloader Zimlet allows you to download a single e-mail as a ZIP file by dragging and dropping the e-mail message on the Email Downloader Zimlet. The downloaded file does not include attachments, but does contain the e-mail message and all it's headers, including those needed by K-State IT support groups for diagnosing problem e-mails. All downloads are in a TGZ file format which may require additional ZIP tools to unarchive the file.

  1. Enable the Zimlet prior to use.
  2. Click and drag an e-mail message over the Email Downloader Zimlet in the Zimlets toolbar on the left.
  3. When the border around the message turns green, drop the message on the Zimlet.
