    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.

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.

      Has Dropbox fixed this yet?

      Evernote has had this feature for years.

        There's nothing to "fix" because there's nothing broken. You can already export emails from your chosen mail client to Dropbox, if your mail client supports it.
