I am new to this Mac world and on the first day of my new job my boss gave me a tedious task to Backup Emails on Apple Mail. Basically, there are 3 email ids, and these are our support email database. So there are tons of emails stacked in the inbox. I have to backup all the emails, contact list, and even the address book. I had a look online for manual procedures and found out that Apple Mail Export and Time Machine Backup are best suited for these backup issues. I did try them, but the problem is they are taking too long. I need a quick solution to Backup emails on Apple Mail.

You just need to locate the Apple Mail Backup Location, as all your emails are stored automatically on your hard drive. From there you can just make the copy of the apple mail database and your backup will be stored securely. Here's how you can locate your apple mail backup location:

The second is an interesting question (as I have never had a need to do this), but the UUIDs are generated from the email headers so an archive in the same synced database should only pick up new emails on either machine.

Zoho Mail provide options to export or backup users' emails, recover any deleted emails and also retry sending emails that have failed delivery. These options are available in the Admin console's Mail Settings menu.

The super administrators or administrators can export the email accounts of their organization users either to comply with backup policies or to backup an account before an employee leaves the organization. In certain cases, when the mail account's storage gets utilized, the admins can backup emails from that account based on a specific period of time before deleting older emails to free up space in that account.

The Email Account export can be done for entire accounts or based on a specific period of time. The exported emails will be available in ZIP/PST format in the Admin Console for a period of 30 days from the date of export.

The entire account is generally exported when an employee leaves the organization, and the administrator has to backup the account before deleting the account or clearing the emails. The exported ZIP/PST files will have the exact folder structure that was available in the user account.

Users can log in to their own accounts at mail.zoho.com to export emails in a particular folder or a set of folders. The options to export the emails in their account are available under the Import/ Export section in the Settings. However, the administrator can restrict the email export by specific users using the Access Restrictions section of Email Policy.

You can use Incoming Email Forwarding and Outgoing Email Forwarding to save a copy of the email that arrives to the account and the emails that are sent from the account. You need to create two user accounts in your organization exclusively for this purpose. Ex: back...@yourdomain.com and backu...@yourdomain.com.

The outgoing forward is mainly based on the outgoing forward policy. You can create an outgoing forward policy and configure backu...@yourdomain.com as the account to be used to maintain a copy of outbound emails. Then you need to apply the policy to the users, for whom you want to have a backup of the outbound emails.To learn more about outgoing email forwarding restrictions, click here.

The email recovery option lets you recover emails that have previously been deleted by users from their respective email accounts. This feature is especially useful in cases where an employee has left the company, and the emails have been deleted by them, but they need to be viewed for some reason by the org admin. The admin can choose to recover all the deleted emails for a selected employee, in the specified period. Follow the steps below to recover the required emails:

Email recovery is applicable to both the received and sent emails. The status of completion, the size of recovered emails and other such details can be viewed in the email recovery listing. You can also use the Filter option provided to view email recoveries based on the completion status.

When emails are sent from your account, in case the recipient server does not accept the emails due to temporary errors, such emails will be moved to Retry queues. The emails will not be bounced back to senders for temporary errors (451.x.x). The mails sent from the domain to external mail servers may sometimes be bounced due to some temporary errors in the recipient servers. Such emails will not be bounced to senders but will queue up in the Retry Mail list. The sender will receive an email with the reason, after 4 hours.

The administrator can view such emails in the retry queue, validate the headers and also remove the retries if required. The list will have the information of the sender, recipient, Last retry time, Reason for delivery delay and also header information. The administrator can manually retry sending by selecting the messages and using the Retry option.

The option is useful when emails to a particular valid domain get bounced due to a temporary server issue at the recipient end. In such a case, the administrator can select all the emails addressed to that domain and Select Retry Sending, which would avoid emails bounced back to the senders.

Brand new to Dropbox. There is no obvious way to save and sync emails. Folders are easy as they show up as a 'button' within the screen but there is no 'email' option. Dropbox doesn't appear on my 'email screen'

Hey @RobLear, Dropbox does not provide a direct way to backup emails. You may find third party apps/services which can do that like IFTTT or Zapier. In case you are using a mail client like Microsoft Outlook or Mozilla Thunderfird, it is possible to export all your mailbox data (email, calendar, contacts) manually and save in your Dropbox folder.

Did this post not resolve your issue? If so please give us some more information so we can try and help - please remember we cannot see over your shoulder so be as descriptive as possible!

Hi @RobLear, Once you install the Dropbox Desktop app, it creates a folder named Dropbox in your computer, anything you put inside this folder is automatically synced to Dropbox cloud (and other connected devices). By default, the Documents folder is outside the Dropbox folder, and not synced by Dropbox. However, you can manually move the location of your Documents folder inside the Dropbox folder, and enable automatic syncing.

In the next step, select the newly created Documents_Personal inside your Dropbox folder. If you want to keep your Work and Personal Documents folder same, you can choose the Work Documents folder (which, you said, is already syncing). By doing so, you should be able to move your Documens folder inside Dropbox folder, and enable automatic syncing.

Many thanks for reply apologies for not getting back sooner. I understand that this is not the way to back up emails. My only problem currently is that it is not automatically backing up my 'Documents' folder which the one at work does as soon as you add/delete a file/folder. (separate PC/dropbox). I don't want to have to remember to drag file/folders into Dropbox to update...
