Incredimail Backup PRO - IncrediMail Export Tool

Incredimail Backup PRO - IncrediMail Export Tool

Heinz Tschabitscher

The Bottom Line

Incredimail Backup PRO not only backs up and restores your entire IncrediMail installation, you can also export messages to EML files, ready to be imported into Windows Mail or other email programs, and undelete deleted mail. It's a pity scheduling Incredimail Backup PRO backups is not easy.
Incredimail Backup PRO is no longer available.

Guide Review - Incredimail Backup PRO 2.0 - IncrediMail Export Tool

Hooked on IncrediMail? Then you will want to make sure your data is safe.

With Incredimail Backup PRO, you can swiftly create a ZIP file containing all your IncrediMail identity's messages, settings, contacts, and more. Restoring from a Incredimail Backup PRO backup is a breeze. Incredimail Backup PRO does it all automatically.

It's a pity Incredimail Backup PRO does not allow restoration of just certain messages or contacts from backup files. If an email you have deleted is still lurking around in the message store (even after you have emptied the "Deleted Items" folder), on the other hand, Incredimail Backup PRO lets you undelete it easily.

A way to schedule backups, either in Incredimail Backup PRO or via the command line, would be nice, too.

Had enough of IncrediMail? Had enough of IncrediMail and now can't seem to get your contacts and messages out of it? You'll love Incredimail Backup PRO's other abilities.

In addition to creating backups, Incredimail Backup PRO can export address books and emails from IncrediMail. You can either have it export all mail or just certain folders. You can even export individual messages and preview them before you save.

Incredimail Backup PRO saves messages as EML files (which you can import into Windows Mail, Outlook Express or other email programs) and contacts to CSV files (which, again, you can easily import into most email programs or web-based services).

Of course, Incredimail Backup PRO keeps your messages intact and includes attached files in the exported EML files, too.

Don't think the other reviewer was fair, Member andrewcbo

Seems to work great for Incredimail Xe. Even with the trial version I was able to convert someones Incredimail messages to .eml format. I was then able to drag them all into Outlook express which you can then import from the Outlook 2007 standard import wizard. I reduced e-mail folder sizes to 50 by spliting them into seperate folders of 50 messages such as Joe folder part 1 etc. the only thing to note is it doesn't take note of level of folder so a idea to keep note of which messages were in each folder CBo :)
