How To Print Your Emails In A Beautiful Book

Up until today, there was no clean and efficient way to publish your e-mails in a book. Memeoirs comes to the rescue, and ads the word ‘effortless.’

Your messages are selected according to the contacts you want to have in the book, and the time period you wish to feature in it. The juicy part of these messages are kept, while the redundant ones (signatures, reply quotes, etc) are left out. This being a fully automatized process, no living soul gets to peruse your emails, and likewise, your password is not stored at any time. After the book is sent to you, no record of your messages is kept.

Here is the storyboard to the narrative “How I made my mailbox eternal.” Written by you.

You start by safely logging in to your inbox. Gmail users get to log in directly on google.com, using OAuth. Because the login is performed on google.com, your credentials are not even seen by us.

Login to your e-mail account

Then, you tell us where the messages you want published are located, and during what period they were written.

Select your inbox folders / tags, and your time period

Now, it’s time to let those creative juices flow. You don’t really have to, but you’ll get a much snazzier Memeoirs if you type in a Foreword and some Acknowledgments. Alternatively, you can type in a timeless quote, or go for one of our suggestions. This is also the place where you choose how the inside layout of your book will look like. Are you a classy person, or more of a fringe character? Browse our gallery for some examples!

Some more customization goodness. Take the time to create your own book cover! You get to design both the front, and the back cover. For the former, choose the author’s name (your name, perhaps) and a title. The length of these is limited to the real estate available on the cover, of course.

Create your own cover

Make sure that the images you upload for your cover have a high enough quality. Because we want your cover to look gorgeous after it is printed, we ask you to upload a high resolution image.

Add a description and a picture (of yourself, perhaps) to the back cover, and your done.

If all your data is valid, you will be have created your Memeoirs cover, and thus will able to proceed. Congratulations!

For the fourth and final step, you will get to choose which of your contacts you want to feature in your book.

With this choice, and with the time period you selected on step one, we will calculate how big your book will be. The number of pages should be between 30 and 450.  That means that if your book is too big, or too small, you will have to change the time period and / or your selected buddies.

Because we also provide you with the price of the book in its two possible versions (Paperback or Hardcover), you can also adapt the choice to your personal finances. Play with the timeline and handpick your correspondents, and when you are happy with the size and price of your book, go ahead and create your book!
