Need to backup all e-mail folders

W. Jonker shared this idea 27 days ago
Proposed

I have made a tree of folders in My Files.

Mailbox states one can only backup e-mail from a singel folder.

To make sure having copies of all e-mail stored in the standard and My Files folders I want Mailbox to create an option to backup the entire e-mail section.

Anyone having found an intermediate option?

In my case, I have an IMAP client (Thunderbird) set to download all folders to my computer.

Downloading via an email client is the simplest way. But you could also do this with a tool such as imapsync

Luca, Vicky,

Both solutions are not for simple backing-up.

I don't use a local e-mail client.

For now I have created backups of the most important folders and use them as archives for past years.

However I still feel Mailbox should provide a backup method that can incorporate all folders in the e-mail tree (both standard and my files folders).
