What’s the safest way to back up all my emails from multiple accounts? - roggessteave2427 - 10-27-2025

Q -  What’s the safest way to back up all my emails from multiple accounts (like Gmail, Yahoo, and IMAP servers) into local files for offline access? 

A - If you manage several email accounts, manual backup is time-consuming and risky. The better approach is to use an automated IMAP backup tool that supports multiple services.

You can try eSoftTools IMAP Backup & Migration Software — it works with Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook.com, iCloud, Mail.ru, and many other IMAP-based email accounts. It lets you save all emails locally in formats like PST, MBOX, EML, and PDF for offline access.
