Backing up and restoring emails in BlueMail is a simple yet essential process for transferring emails between accounts or recovering previously backed-up emails. This feature is available exclusively on desktop versions: BlueMail for Windows, Mac, and Linux.
Restoring Emails
You can import emails into your accounts by navigating to Settings | Account Settings | selecting the relevant account | Advanced | Import Mailbox and choosing the file you wish to import. Currently, only .mbox files are supported.
For advanced users, if you have a .pst file, you can convert it to .mbox using this script.
Backing Up Your Emails
- Open BlueMail and select the email account you want to back up by clicking its name in the top bar.
- Choose folders for export by expanding the folder tree and selecting the desired folders.
- Right-click on the selected folder and choose "Export Folder" from the drop-down menu.
- Save the backup file after the export completes, either on your desktop or an external storage device. Be sure to name the file appropriately and store it securely.
Please note: To export emails, BlueMail+ is required.
