Backing Up E-Mail
System requirements: Windows
Description:
E-mail clients congregate your messages into one large file or folder, simplifying the backup process. Corruption of these files and accidental deletion of messages are the most common reasons for e-mail loss. You will also want to make a copy of your messages and address books to use when you anticipate moving to a new computer or e-mail client. This is especially true if you use personal folders in Outlook which are not stored on the J: Drive.
How to Use:
The following instructions can help you back up and restore e-mail and address books in commonly used e-mail clients:
