palt Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 Does anyone know a small little app for backing up my imap box? Just want to be sure that no more mails are lost because mail.app loses them. thank you very much!

Danyel Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 Hi Palt: I use Lacie's SilverKeeper (Freeware) to backup my whole Users folder (excluding cache files) onto an External Hard Drive. If you'd prefer to backup the individual paths (instead of the whole Users directory), here are paths for Tiger (10.4): For Apple's Mail: Hard_Drive/Users/Username/Library/Mail/IMAP-EMail_Address For Mozilla's Thunderbird: Hard_Drive/Users/Username/Library/Thunderbird/Profiles/ProfileName.default/ImapMail For Thunderbird, it seems to place symbolic links or pointers instead of the actual IMAP E-Mail. It's probably better to backup their Mail folder: Hard_Drive/Users/Username/Library/Thunderbird/Profiles/ProfileName.default/Mail Good luck! --danyel Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/69935-imap-backup-app/#findComment-496097 Share on other sites More sharing options...
