A file download process should start.

Header a little bit confusing. I think something like Node crash exporting messages with unset SMTP server would much correct. I did try export messages to file and it works good - I get email with link to message archive.

I've changed the header as you recommended. Exporting to a file is also confusing. I would expect that functionality to start a file download from the browser or the desktop client, in which case it shouldn't be necessary to set SMTP server. Thanks for your reply. Regards
