Why Export Emails to Excel?

There are a couple of reasons why you need to export emails to Excel. Sometimes, users migrate hosts and need to move their inbox to a new web hosting server. If you want to keep your data, sometimes the platform requires you to back your emails up, and you don’t want to lose past email exchanges and necessary attachments. This is one reason to export it into an Excel document.

Excel organizes conversations and acts as your database. You can search for old contacts and conversations by name or date here.

Another reason to export emails is to save your data in a backup file. What happens if you lose access to your email? It happens every day. If this ever happens to you, you’ll be glad you backed up your email data.

A final reason is to save the data in a backup file. Sensitive data that may require easy access for either legal or other business purposes must be backed up. Also, if there’s a catastrophe and somehow your server is wiped, you’ll want a backup.

Why You Should Use Mailparser to Convert Email to Excel

Gmail has a restriction of 100 emails a day to forward older emails, but we have a blog post for a Chrome extension download that can forward your older Gmail messages.

What are email parsing rules?

Email parsing rules are sets of instructions you create to tell our system where to search for your data, whether that data is in an email’s body or contained within a text-scannable email attachment.

Typically, parsing rules target specific fields or data points within your emails like a tracking number, but parsing rules can extract entire tables of data.

You can use filters to isolate and extract only the data you need. These filters tell our system to look for specific fields and patterns.

  6. Hi,
    I get emailed approximately 80 csv file reports per week from different clients, all of which I am currently copying and pasting into one excel spreadsheet to create a master file. Would mailparser allow me to automate this so that each week the data attached to the 80+ emails could be extracted and automatically dropped into one master report for me?
    Kind regards,
    Helen

  7. we get our invoices in pdf attachments in emails, the format of these invoices vary from supplier to supplier, we have thousands of suppliers. From these invoices we have to extract data like Supplier Name, Product code, amount and quantity and populate in my workflow portal (ERP). Currently it is done manually. Can you give a solution for doing this activity.
    Regards

    1. Hi Amit,
      Thanks for reaching out and for your interest in Mailparser!
      Our app can extract data from many invoices, though our sister app Docparser.com is better suited for PDF extraction – I would recommend creating a trial there and sending in a ticket to support@docparser.com if you get stuck 🙂
