Back up your emails locally before something goes wrong
Before you switch providers, change a password, or deactivate an old account: create a backup of your emails.
Why a local email backup makes sense
Many users rely on their emails just being stored somewhere online. But when you switch providers, get locked out of an account, or accidentally delete folders, that becomes risky. With a local backup, you stay in control.
When you should create a backup
- Before switching to a new email provider
- Before canceling or deactivating an old account
- When you have important invoices, contracts, or receipts via email
- When your mailbox is almost full and you want to clean up
- As a regular safety copy for emergencies
