As soon as you want to switch from IncrediMail to another email program, you discover a good reason to switch that is at the same time a reason not to switch: IncrediMail does not offer you to export mail to a common format that would allow you to import your precious messages to the new email client.
Export Mail from IncrediMail to Another Email Program
Fortunately, there are tools to extract your emails from IncrediMail, e.g. IncrediConvert.
To save IncrediMail mail to EML files, which you can import into other email programs, with Incredimail Backup PRO (see below for a free alternative):
- Launch Incredimail Backup PRO.
- Make sure My incredimail accounts is selected.
- Click Extract to EML.
- Highlight the desired IncrediMail identity.
- Click Next ->.
- Optionally, uncheck all folder you do not want to export.
- Click Next ->.
- Highlight your Desktop.
- Click Next -> again.
- Close Incredimail Backup PRO.
- Open the [Date] - Incredimail EML - [Identity] folder on your Windows Desktop.
For every folder inside:
- Open the folder with a double-clicking.
- Press Ctrl-A to select all .eml files.
Drag and drop them to the folder in Windows Mail or Outlook Express that you want to import them to.
(Make sure you drop the .eml files on the folder in Windows Mail or Outlook Express, not the folder in Windows Explorer where Windows Mail or Outlook Express keeps mail on your hard disk.)These steps can be followed for IncrediMail installed in Windows XP, 2000, 98 etc
