Although using a web browser to access my email is
convenient, I still keep a copy thunderbird Portable running as backup. I’d be
lost without it if there were every any problems with my email account- for
example, if it was unavailable or had actually lost emails. Thunderbird lets
your download the emails without effect how they appear on your web mail
interface, and the portable version (snipac.com/9591) lets your keep the entire
backup in one folder. Always choose the IMAP serer rather than POP3 when
creating your account, because IMAP ensures your messages stay on the server.
Once the account is set up, click the top-right button with three horizontal
lines, move the mouse over Options arrow and they click Account Settings. Click
Synchronization
& Storage in the left-hand column and make sure the
‘keep messages for this account on this computer’ option is selected. Click the
Advanced button to include or exclude specific folders- you won’t want to back
up a spam folder, for example. Make sure that you have selected both the
Synchronies all messages locally regardless of age’ and ‘don’t delete any
messages’ options. Click OK to save the changes. For extra security I keep
Thunderbird Portable in a folder in Drop box to make sure that the backup is safe
even if I have unforeseen Problem in my computer
