Make a copy all email folders and Inbox

[Akj1]

Without using a third party app similar to 'Advik' ($99), is it possible or does anyone know how to make a copy of all folders, including, Inbox, Sent etc...(not deleted or spam) in a readable format in for Windows?

Just use a free mail client such as Mozilla Thunderbird

Hi, thanks for the reply. Did try this but it doesn't take/make a copy of 'My Folders' which I have 10's of these for houskeeping.

You need to make sure that Thunderbird is configured as IMAP, and that all folders are "subscribed" to, including any sub folders. That is assuming that all folders are present on the BT mail server, and visible on webmail.

Right click on the account and then click 'Subscribe', tick the boxes against the folders you wish to sync and click 'subscribe'.

Thanks again, I did retry this and yes it works, I did set it up for POP!!

Thanks, yes I did originally try Thundrbird but set up via POP!!, redoing it all again and setup as IMAP it works as I wanted and by default all my sub folders are 'subscribed'. Again thanks for your help 🙂
