Saving emails in Dropbox

When can we expect to enable us to save directly all emails in Dropbox.

I understand this possible fort attachements but I am and surely not the only one interested in saving automatically emails in Dropbox.

Thanks

    Emails are nothing more than files of a particular format. Use a mail client that allows you to export email, and you can already save it to Dropbox. Otherwise, this would be on your chosen mail client to accomplish; not Dropbox. The developers of your mail client can use the Dropbox API to create such functionality.

    Dropbox never releases roadmaps of featues Baud and, being honest, its not something I can see them bringing in - Dropbox is all about collaboration and not using emails (think Paper/Comments etc.)

      Thanks for your return.

      I do not wand to use Dropbox as an email box.

      I would like to be able to copy automatically my email box into Dropbox for security.

      The  only would is to copy and past in a word sheet and then save in Dropbox but this is not quick.
