* Messages need to be exported one email at a time.
* Select the email that you wish to export by clicking on it to highlight it
* On the top menu, click More, an then Download
* The message will be save using the title of the email with the .eml.txt extension to the folder where your downloads normally go.



== Importing Email ==
* Again, log in and make sure you are using RoundCube
* Select the folder where you want the imported message to go
* Click the Gear icon at the lower left of the screen and click Import Messages
* Choose the emails you wish to import (can be more than one) and click Upload
* The emails will show up in the folder as unread messages.
