The program lets you retrieve e-mail messages directly from the mail service (such as Gmail, Yahoo!Mail, Zimbra etc.). This technique allows using a dedicated E-mail plug-in for Webmail backup, and has some advantages over backup via local mailing software.
After you made mail backup, you can either restore it to an original place, or move it to a different mailbox, or even to a completely different mail address that you have. Use this feature freely to clone or to transfer your e-mail backup data.
With Handy Backup, you can secure data and settings of most popular e-mail management applications used today: back up MS Outlook, Outlook Express or create Windows Live Mail backups, Thunderbird backup and other.
Handy Backup allows utilizing almost any modern storage to backup email messages, including local drives, external and network disks, FTP servers, commercial clouds (e.g. Amazon S3, Dropbox, Google Drive or OneDrive), as well as S3- or WebDAV-driven private and public cloud services.
Note: Handy Backup keeps unencrypted email backup messages in the native, readable EML format, allowing browsing and viewing these messages just from backups, without recovering, as well as making migration from server to server or from account to account readily available.
Handy Backup has a comprehensible task-based interface which allows email archiving either as a separate task, or as a part of a bigger data retention scheme. In Handy Backup, tasks may include data of different types (files, folders, databases, etc.) into a backup dataset.
To back up incoming messages from a mail server through IMAP, please follow the next instruction.

Tip! For different email clients, these are different locations for local email content downloaded via the POP3 protocol.
Besides the obvious benefits of dedicated email backup solution, like scheduling, data encryption, automating backups, recovery and cloning and so on, these are the specific advantages of Handy Backup, providing the best way to backup email content.
Note: To connect with a particular server, you can select its settings from a previously established connection via some local email client (in the “Properties” section of a config tab), or just ask Google or some other searching engine about these settings.

"Great product, very simple and effective backup program"
"In my opinion, Handy Backup is a perfect email backup solution. A few years ago, I have organized IMAP email backup through its “E-mail” plug-in for the version 7, and since that time, I migrated to Handy Backup 8 and transferred my email backup tasks as well. All tasks are working for now, without any flaw or mishap, and I always have a secured, reliable copy of all my Web mail accounts."
