By using the email backup feature of Handy Backup, you can download your mail messages directly from the server and save them to the storage medium of your choice. You only need to purchase our program for a very reasonable price, install it on your computer and you are all set for doing email backups.

Handy Backup uses the POP3 transfer protocol to pull the messages out of the mail server; therefore you need to make sure that your web mail service has POP3 support.

You also need to know which POP3 address your mail service is using, as you will have to specify this in the Connection parameters dialog of Handy Backup.

If you don’t know the POP3 address of your mail server, try to find this information in the online help of your mail service, or in the FAQ which deal with the connection problems and suchlike.

They usually provide their POP3 address in the help section where the incoming and outgoing server parameters for email clients such as Outlook Express, The Bat etc. are described. Try looking there or refer to the FAQ section where they discuss the connection issues and the protocols used.

You can also see the list of some popular mail services which have POP3 support. If yours is among them, follow the link and see the screenshot with the connection parameters of your mail service.

If you still cannot figure out the POP3 address of your web mail service, you may consider using one of the most popular web mail services from our list or contact our support team at support@handybackup.net. We will try to find out the POP3 address of a given email service for you.
