e mail folders to hard drive?

Question

How do i copy my e mail folders on to my hard disk ?

ravenstar68 · Answer

That's precisely how the export works.&nbsp; When a folder is exported it uses two files.&nbsp; An MBOX file which contains all the exported mails in one file, and a table of contents which contains a list of the emails and their ID'sWhen you import the folder back to a mail program that supports the MBOX format the mail structure is restored.Tim

If you mean purely for archiving purposes (such as if you are leaving VM and losing access to your VM email account) try
