Not too long ago I had an account with Hotmail, and that was before GMail came into existence 
But because Hotmail offered only a mere 2MB of storage space, I’ve had my INBOX emptied on a couple of occassions, without prior notice. And that was when I switched to using Yahoo Mail, which was providing, what, 10MB of storage?
But since switching over to GMail, I’ve never had problems with Google (or anybody else for that matter) emptying my mailbox because I’ve got plenty of storage space (2.8GB at the moment, and increasing). But that doesn’t mean that my emails will be safe, does it?
Now, if you store important emails in your local computer, that is if you use Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft Outlook Express as your default email client, you may want to download them into your computer often to avoid losing them. Alternatively, you may want to try this software called backup e-mail.
The software works by recording every little detail about your e-mail client, and the settings you decide to keep, and saving it all in one useful file. When you decide to restore your archive, it analyzes this data and safely puts all the e-mail messages and settings back into your e-mail client. It’s secure, and easy, and it fully supports ALL recent versions of Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft Outlook Express.
To back-up your emails, you select your back-up options, such as Account Settings, Mail Folders, Signatures and Address Books and you’re good to go. You can also schedule your back-ups!
The FREE trial version of back-up email (available for download at http://www.backup-email.com/) simply allows you to back-up your emails and settings, BUT it doesn’t allow you to restore your email archive. To recover files, you will need to purchase the full version for $24.95.
