Description
MailStore Home is a solution for people who have a need to backup their e-mails in a straightforward and simple fashion. It works with all POP3 and IMAP accounts, as well as Thunderbird, Outlook, Exchange Server, and Windows Mail. MailStore Home offers a simple three step process for backing up your e-mail accounts. Once you've downloaded and installed it, open it, click on import, enter the settings for your particular account, and double-click your newly created e-mail profile. Once the backup is created, you can leave it in MailStore, export it to .eml, or burn it to a CD or DVD.
Review
MailStore Home allows you to back up your email program to a digital archive or onto physical media like a USB stick, so you can be sure that you'll never lose vital emails.
Pros
Easy import: Importing your email into MailStore Home is easy and quick. You can access a webmail account, use an email client, or use email files such as an MBOX file to create your archive inside the program.
Export options: If you want to export your archive, you have a number of options that you can utilize when doing so. This is valuable for people who want to move a significant amount of email from one account to another. You can import it into this program and then export it into a different client. Options include popular email formats such as an exchange or IMAP mailbox.
Search email: In our tests, the search function worked very well, and we found exactly what we were looking for.
Cons
No in-app help: This app deals with a number of fairly complicated operations, so we were frustrated when clicking the help icon only redirected us to the website support page.
Bottom Line
MailStore Home successfully archives messages, which protects against data loss and also makes searching your backlogged email much easier.
