  Hi there,

  Apparently it looks like a legitimate email. What it means is that someone using your account requested an <a href=”https://en.support.wordpress.com/export/
  “>export of your blog data, which can include stuff like posts and comments.

  If it wasn’t initiated by you, do you have multiple people administrating the blog? Please be careful about your account security, don’t add untrusted people as administrators and keep your password secure.

  Someone also tagged this thread for Staff attention, so an official response might be on its way.

  Hi there!

  @ehtis is correct! That’s the email we send when you request an export and it’s too large to be immediately downloaded through the browser.

  Let me know if I can help with anything else!
