Unable to forward a bunch of messages via web UI
I need to forward a bunch of (~couple dozen) messages to someone.
There's really no way to select a bunch of messages and send them? I have to do it one by one or use an IMAP client? How did I not notice this before? |

Sending multiple messages as attached files
Thanks for finding that thread which shows my method for forwarding multiple messages as attachments, Bruce!
The only method of forwarding multiple messages to someone is to attach the original messages as file attachments. The current user interface allows you to perform various operations on multiple messages selected from the mail message list (delete, archive, report as spam, move to a folder, mark), but forward as attachment isn't one of these. So you just need to convert each message independently to an attachment, save those attachments in a folder on your PC, then compose a new message and attach those files to the new message. The details are in the thread previously mentioned. Bill |

The old classic interface still exists, for the time being (https://classic.fsstmail.com). Forwarding many messages as attachments in a single email is one of those functions, not available in the current interface, but easily accomplished in the old classic.

It is worth noting that the current interface does now support forwarding multiple emails as attachments. From the message list (whether from a folder or a search) select the messages you want to forward, and then choose "Forward as attachment" from the More menu.

I suggest that it's dangerous to reply to a post made over 2 years ago about a missing Fastmail feature.
