How often do people loose their email data?
Is this important to backup your email client before loosing important emails?
Are you thinking it won't happen to you?
Laptop Battery Well, for those who use an email client and loosing their emails is one of the worst nightmares. Unfortunately this situation is quite probable.
*You need to have a mail client program (such as Outlook or Outlook Express) to send emails with ACT!- based email accounts.
Thinkpad There are several causes for this:
- Hard disk failure
- Viruses and Trojans
- Windows crashes
- Some time un-expected things

Microsoft Hard Disk can fail from several reasons: logical problems like bad partitions, hardware problems caused by dropping them or something on them, or, sometimes they just stop functioning. You can use several data recovery tools like GetDataBack or Acronis, which might save your day. But you might not be able to get back any byte.
To do this, you will need a "pop3" mail box. This means that email is stored for you on a special type of computer, called an email server, by whoever hosts your domain. You will then enter some special settings into a mail program on your computer such as Microsoft Outlook or Microsoft Outlook Express (there are too many types to mention them all). This is called your mail client, and will be the program you use to send and receive your email.
Laptop Computers Viruses are increasing their numbers day by day. It's hard to keep up even for the big players like Symantec or Kaspersky. They reduced the response time for a new virus, but if you are unlucky, the virus crashes your computer before you can apply the antivirus.
mail is then sent to the destination SMTP server which then delivers it to the recipients incoming mail server (POP3). 4) The recipient either views the mail directly on the server with a webmail application, or ideally, mail client (Outlook). With Webmail, you are viewing the mail directly on your POP mail server, mail Client like Outlook, you are downloading mail to your computer. A webmail application is great when you are traveling and do not have access to your own computer.
Laptop Computer Well, we all know how reliable Windows is. There is no person that can say he never saw a "blue screen". Because most of the email clients store email, account and settings data in My documents, Program files or in Windows registry. When you reinstall the operating system you loose them all. Even Microsoft CEO Bill Gates acknowledged that they counted 5 percent of total Windows based computers to crash twice every day. Here's a small report: http://www.nytimes.com/2003/07/25/technology/25SOFT.html - September 1, 2005.
Interested in email hosting for your business Why not take a look at our sister company WebFusion hosted email service Please note that we do not currently offer SMTP servers on these accounts, so if you want to use your email client (eg Outlook Express) to manage your mail you will be able to receive mail to your domain name but will need to use your ISP SMTP servers to send mail.
Desktop Computer The best way to count those situations is to backup emails on a CD or another hard disk. People who know a little about Windows and computers can do it by hand. Outlook Express is still the most used email client.
Notebooks If you want to backup Outlook Express by hand, you have to save registry keys and DBX files. Saving messages, signatures and the address book can be done within the email client, but for settings you have to search through Windows registry. It can be pretty difficult to do it for a beginner.
Lenovo After a long search now I found a tool that can do this job automatically. Adolix Outlook Express Backup: http://www.adolix.com/outlook-express-backup/home.html. You can use this software to backup Outlook Express, IncrediMail and some other email clients. It's an email saver program that can backup and restore emails, addresses, folders, signatures and options.
Hard Drive What it cannot do is backing up Outlook Express and restoring to Pegasus Mail for instance. Synchronization can take place between different instances of the same email client.
Travelstar It can be used to move emails from one computer to another. For instance if you own a laptop and a PC, you can transfer emails between them. Furthermore, you can backup Outlook Express from Windows98 and restore it to Windows XP.
Gateway Adolix Outlook Express Backup has a wizard mode for beginners, but the most experienced users can use Standard mode for more speed. It costs only $24.95 and I think worth for too much.
Laptop Parts It's pretty clear that anyone can loose emails. So backing up your email client is essential, but you have to decide whether to do it by hand or to purchase a tool like Adolix Outlook Express Backup.
