Advantages of Email Backup Services by Handy Backup

Universal Approach: All Email Backup Services in Same Format!

Regardless of an email service provider that you will use, you are utilizing the same E-Mail plug-in that stores separate messages in the unified EML format and uses the IMAP protocol for accessing any Web mail server. Thus, you can freely migrate from one service to another, or automatically process backups.

Scheduled Jobs and Complete Automation!

You can schedule your email backup actions to run at an exact time, as well as to repeat by an exact interval from a single minute to a couple of months. You may also link the email backup service job to some system event. In any case, all actions (with pre-defined connection settings) will be automatic.

Uncompromised Data Security and Advanced Backup Control!

You can compress or encrypt your mails backup with internal algorithms, or use any external utilities (grabbers, encryption managers etc.) for any purposes before or after email backup. In addition, you can use partial (incremental, different or mixed) backup to save time and storage space.

Excite.com Backup and Migration

Excite.com is almost abandoned nowadays; therefore, you may want to migrate from Excite.com instead of just use its email backup services. In any case, you cannot connect it via IMAP. Instead, use some local client backup (such as Thunderbird backup) to download Excite.com content via POP3, and then use it.

Note: To operate with Excite backup content with utmost efficiency, your chosen local client must support the EML message format. This will allow you to recover Excite mails to another mail server by sending the folders with EML messages to another account by using the IMAP protocol!

ProtonMail Backup

This is another case that can cause some problems. The ProtonMail uses some bridge sites and software to connect with different local clients; therefore, to set up a ProtonMail backup task, you must previously connect to it via the one of these local clients, and then operate with a local ProtonMail copy!
