Backing up email messages

Backup your email databases before attempting repairs.

If there is a problem with your email software, you need to back up whatever left of your email before attempting any kind of repairs.
  • Certain tools (e.g. ScanPst for MS Outlook) will modify the email database during repairs. If the repair goes wrong, the situation may become worse than it was before repairs. You would need to revert to your backups to try another solution.
  •  Sometimes the email client might damage the once broken database further upon startup.

Typically, backup is done by just copying several files somewhere to a secure location. Make sure your system settings are configured as appropriate, then see the corresponding email client reference for the location of its message base files (MS Outlook, Outlook Express, Thunderbird). You need to copy these files somewhere outside their original location using either Windows Explorer or your favorite file manager.

Our customers say

This small piece of software, within minutes of downloading, made me the happiest guy in the world. My camera did something weird to my SmartMedia card, rendering it useless. Upon card insertion, the camera and subsequent computers asked if I wished to format the card. I did NOT format the card, because I had just spent 2 hours taking promo pictures for my business in lots of different locations, and figured SOMEbody could figure it out... [...] When I found this program, although it took a minute or two to figure out which "number" went with my USB SmartMedia reader, I clicked a few buttons, and this program went right to work. It took about 5-10 seconds per picture to recover - I was ELATED! Thank you for providing this piece of software for free. I figure the least I could do was come back to say thank you.
