Many of us do keep a backup of our most important files or data in one form or another. What about the email messages which are stored at various places like Outlook, Windows Mail, Outlook Express, Thunderbird, Exchange, as well as POP/IMAP accounts (like Gmail and Yahoo) and local files? How many of us have a backup of those email accounts or email messages? For most of us, emails contain most sensitive information like bank records, personal information, login information etc. and hence we must backup these to some form of our local offline system.

MailStore Home is such a solution which lets you backup all your email messages from multiple applications too into one safe archive. You can import your mail from Outlook, Windows Mail, Outlook Express, Thunderbird, Exchange, as well as POP/IMAP accounts (like Gmail and Yahoo) and local files. You can store all your mail in an archive or Zip file and can read or search all your messages even by keyword or more advanced criteria.
