Add and Edit Emails

Use your Save-to-Archive address to save valuable emails to your Mission Archive:

  • Weekly emails the missionary has sent.
  • Meaningful emails the missionary has received — from their mission president, friends, or family.

Save-to-Archive Emails

Send an email to this address and it will be saved to your Mission Archive:

  1. A letter you're writing: add the address below to the Bcc field — Bcc keeps it hidden, so replies stay out of your archive.
  2. An email you've received: open it, click Forward, make sure any attachments are still attached, and send it to the address below — it's saved as if it were the original email, at its original send date.

Already using an older archive address? It still works — but use this one from now on.

Edit Email Attachments

Add or remove attachments on any email already in your archive — great for adding photos or files that were missed the first time.

  1. Open Mission Archive and click any email's subject in the table.
  2. Scroll to the Attachments section.
  3. Click Upload Photo or Upload PDF to attach a new file to that email.
  4. Click the trash icon next to any existing attachment to remove it.

Edit an Archived Email

Fix a typo or trim content on any email already in your archive — the newest forward replaces the earlier entry, attachments included:

  1. Open the original email in your inbox and click Forward.
  2. Make your edits to the message content — leave the forwarded From, Date, and Subject lines as they are (they're how we match the entry being replaced).
  3. Make sure any attachments you want to keep are still attached — a forward that drops them replaces the entry without them.
  4. Send it to the Save-to-Archive address above.

Add Photos, Files, and Social Posts

Beyond emails, you can add photos, files, and social posts to keep every part of your missionary's experience together in one place.

Upload Photos

Add photos from any day to your archive — companion photos, p-day adventures, baptisms, anything worth saving.

  1. Click Upload Photos below.
  2. Pick the date the photos were taken.
  3. Click to choose files.
  4. The photos appear in your archive grouped together.

Upload Files

Save valuable files — talks, notes, flyers, scanned handwritten letters, anything you want preserved.

  1. Click Upload Files below.
  2. Pick the date that applies to the file.
  3. Choose your PDF file.
  4. Give it a title so it's easy to find later.

Add a Social Post

Save Instagram, Facebook, and other social posts by uploading a screenshot or a download of the post. Each post becomes its own entry in your archive and book.

  1. Open the post in Instagram or Facebook (web or app).
  2. Take a screenshot or download the full post and images.
  3. Click Add Social Post below.
  4. Pick a date, title, and platform, then upload the images. The first image is shown larger in your book.
