E-Mail Backup in Windows programs like Outlook, Outlook Express and Windows Mail has always been a problem, especially for the novice.

Microsoft, in its infinite wisdom, has never provided a quick and simple way to do the job of backing up your e-mail program. I might suggest (ahem!) that they do this on purpose – they’d rather you use their online mail service. You see, they don’t make money once you’ve bought your Windows OS. It’s a one-time fee. It includes the e-mail program from which you can retrieve all your e-mail from servers around the internet.

But, if they can convince you to use Hotmail or Windows Live Mail (which is Hotmail), they can make money on advertising from companies who pay for that space in Hotmail or Windows Live Mail (which is Hotmail).

You have an e-mail program built in to whatever version of Windows you’re using. It might be Outlook Express or Windows Mail. If you bought Microsoft Office, then you probably have Outlook.

But e-mail backup is still the same problem. There is no built-in way to do a fast backup of your e-mails, folders, accounts and various settings. Just search YouTube for all the “tutorials” on how to back up Windows e-mails. You’ll find a couple of mine there :-)

One video you won’t find on YouTube is the one below. It’s exclusively for my readers here. Watch it:

The link in the video takes you directly to the order link. I’ve been told that’s the way you do things. But here are a couple of other links you might find useful:

Free Trial Download: Download Backup EMail Free Trial

Note: The system is set up so that if you opt for the free trial, you’ll get an e-mail with the download link. The page you’re taken to has a LARGE button that says “Buy…” Click it and you’re free trial download will begin. You don’t have to buy the software unless you want or need to Restore.

I really can’t convey how important this simple software has become. It’s restored my entire Outlook Express e-mail settings three times since I first stumbled on it almost three years ago. I  wouldn’t be caught dead without it!
