How backup emails in Eudora

               You may have some messages that carry particular importance. Of course, you keep them in a save folder inside Eudora and you have printed them, but one never knows. In Eudora you can  back up all your email data easily, it is also particularly easy to make back-up  messages. In Eudora, exporting to .mbx files is just as easy.

    If you make backup copies of your Eudora mailbox files, you are prepared for the case of emergency and can restore your important messages.

To make backup copies of your Eudora mailboxes:

•     Go to your Eudora folder in Windows Explorer.

•     Highlight all files with the extension ".mbx", the file "descmap.pce" as well as all folders with names ending in ".fol".

•     Select Edit | Copy from the menu to copy the files and folders.

•     Now go to the folder where you want to keep the backup copy of your Eudora mailbox files.

•      Preferably, this folder is on another hard disk, a DVD, a network drive, ZIP drive or other remote medium.

•     Select Edit | Paste from the menu.

That's it, your backup copies are ready — ready to be recovered when you need them. These steps can be followed for Eudora installed in Windows XP and Windows 7.
