I am trying to use the ant retrieveUnpackaged call with the SFDC Migration tool to download some email templates.

I pulled the package.xml from the Force.com IDE and for whatever reason the Email isn't being downloaded in this call even when the following is included in the package.xml file:

<types>
    <members>*</members>
    <name>EmailTemplate</name>
</types>

Is this a quirk of the migration tool? Everything else is being downloaded except this directory.

No errors are reported.

EmailTemplate does not support the wildcard operator; you will have to individually name each template. See the docs at http://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/daas/Content/daas_package.htm for constructing a project manifest for a complete list of which objects do and do not support wildcards.

Use Salesforce Package XML generator in VSCode to generate a package XML with all your email templates.

In the tool, select EmailTemplate checkbox, let it pull the metadata into the xml file, then copy then package.xml file to your clipboard. Save/merge that with your existing package.xml manifest, then retrieve source from org from the package.xml manifest.
