We can all agree that most of the communication, both formal and informal, are usually over an email in this digital era. From a recipe shared by your friend or a business proposal that you want to discuss with your team before sending it to your clients are all in your email inbox. At some point in time, you might be in need of saving a hard copy of the email. But it may turn out to be a nightmare to understand how to download and print an email from devices running on different operating systems and very confusing navigation options.

Well, look no further as all the concepts related to downloading and printing emails on the most popular Windows and Mac platforms are explained in the following sections. You will also learn how to print an email directly from your smartphone through a pre-configured wireless printer. As an example, let us learn how to print an email in Yahoo. If you print an email in Yahoo by using the print option provided by web browsers, redundant ads and toolbars are also selected for printing. You end up wasting lots of ink and paper. Luckily, Yahoo includes an easier and paper-friendlier option to print emails from its interface both on desktops and smartphones. The steps should remain the same for other email providers, for smartphones from different manufacturers, and also if you choose different web browsers to print an email.

Note: The following sections list out the steps to print only the text of an email. If you want to print the attachments in an email, select the attachments. The preview of the attachment is displayed on the right pane. Click Print and download the attachments to your system. Then print them using the Widows or iOS print interface. Do note that on Apple iOS systems, you should download the attachments on Apple iCloud or Dropbox as you are not allowed to download the attachments directly to your file system.
