How do I save an email message?

This will show you how to save an email as a draft or as a file on your computer.

Unless you delete them, your email will always be stored in your mailbox – however, sometimes you might want to save a copy of an email. There are two ways to save a copy of an email on our webmail client. As a draft (for when you are still writing the email) and to your computer (when you have sent or received an email and would like to keep a copy of it outside of your mailbox).
