How often have you found yourself wishing you had a foolproof way to restore your Apple Mail data?

Well, you’re not alone in that. In an age where even the messages between grandmothers have gone digital, every message carries a weight of importance. With email management tools like Apple Mail taking center stage, we find a unique blend of usability and functionality that isn’t mirrored in many other email clients. But, most of all, it’s this singular nature of Apple Mail that requires special attention when considering backup and restoration.

Can you remember a time when letters were physical, and they could be stored in folders, drawers, or even treasured boxes? Those days, though reminiscent of simpler times, have evolved. Today, our communication thrives in electricity and volt. It’s lightning fast and infinitely vast, holding both personal and professional messages and even non-communication related data. But what happens if we lose them? What’s our safety net in this digital space?

Introducing the fortress of data resilience: Mail Backup X. The ultimate way to backup and restore Apple Mail.

So, eager to know how you can use it? Let’s dive in:

Step 1: Start by installing the Mail Backup X software on your device. It’s important to always download software from official or reputable sources to prevent downloading malicious software or viruses unintentionally. Make sure your antivirus and firewall are active and up-to-date during this process. Also make sure you download the correct version for your operating system.

Step 2: Upon launching, you’ll find the Dashboard. This is the main control panel where you’ll manage all your backup processes. This dashboard is a centralized place for all your backup-related tasks. It’s designed to be user-friendly, so don’t feel overwhelmed. Familiarize yourself with its layout before starting your backup. From Dashboard, click on the ‘Setup a New Backup Profile’ option.

Step 3: At next screen, a prompt will ask you to select your email client or server. Naturally, for our purpose, pick Apple Mail. In cases with servers, you’d be asked to log in to your email account. Proceed with the required credentials. But for now, you don’t need to sign in.

Configuring Apple Mail Backup.

For users of Mac OS Mojave and above: If you get “Disk access denied” error, you will have to manually give Mail Backup X access to disk.

To do that: go to System Preferences, Open Security and Privacy, and under ‘Privacy’ tab, select ‘Full Disk Access’ on the left, and then add ‘Mail Backup X’ by clicking on ‘plus’ (+) icon and choosing the tool.

Step 4: Next, the software will present you with folders inside your selected Apple Mail profile. Here’s your chance to select which folders you’d like to back up. Perhaps there’s a folder with precious memories or vital business correspondences? Don’t miss them. To avoid redundancy and save space, consider excluding folders that you are certain don’t contain important emails, like the junk or spam folder.

Step 5: Notice an option to enable the auto-detection of new folders? It’s advisable to enable it. This ensures that as you create new folders in your Apple Mail, Mail Backup X will automatically include them in subsequent backups. This is particularly helpful if you’re in the habit of regularly organizing your emails into new folders.

Step 6: Now, moving on to the configuration settings. Begin by providing a distinct profile name. Assigning a unique profile name helps in easy identification, especially if you plan to backup multiple email accounts or profiles.

Step 9: Decide where you’d like to store the backup. Additionally, if you’re a stickler for security, do enable the encryption option. This keeps your backed-up emails safe from prying eyes. Choosing a location with enough storage space is important. Consider dedicating an external hard drive or a specific partition of your computer’s storage for these backups. Or, a dedicated directory within local drives.

Step 10: Want your Apple Mail backup to happen regularly without manual interference? Schedule your backup timings. Scheduling ensures that you don’t have to remember to backup. However, ensure your computer is turned on and not in sleep mode during the scheduled backup time.

Step 11: If you have a USB drive, set up the necessary settings. This allows for an additional backup copy on your external drive.Using a USB drive offers a physical backup that’s portable and can be stored away from the primary device, offering protection against device failures. Always remember to safely eject the drive after the backup process.

Step 12: Before starting, choose your preferred cleanup options. This is where you decide how you’d like to manage older backups. If space is a concern, consider setting rules to delete older backups automatically.
Step 13: Finally, click ‘Save’. You can see the progress bar under “activities” section in tool’s dashboard. Once saved, it’s always a good habit to check the “activities” section occasionally to ensure the backups are proceeding as scheduled and there are no errors.
