Windows Mail is a built-in email client in Windows Vista and Windows 7, and it's not as widely used as other email clients like Outlook or Mozilla Thunderbird. However, if you still use Windows Mail, you can backup your emails and settings using the following methods:
Method 1: Export emails using Windows Mail
- Open Windows Mail.
- Click on "File" > "Export" > "Export Messages".
- Select the folder you want to export (e.g., Inbox, Sent Items, etc.).
- Choose a location to save the exported files (e.g., a USB drive or an external hard drive).
- Select the file format (e.g., EML, PST, or MSG).
- Click "Export" to start the export process.
Method 2: Use the Windows Mail Backup tool
- Open Windows Mail.
- Click on "File" > "Backup" > "Backup Windows Mail".
- Choose a location to save the backup file (e.g., a USB drive or an external hard drive).
- Select the type of backup you want to create (e.g., "Full" or "Incremental").
- Click "Backup" to start the backup process.
Method 3: Use a third-party backup software
There are many third-party backup software programs available that can backup Windows Mail, such as:
- EaseUS Todo Backup
- Acronis True Image
- Macrium Reflect
- Genie Timeline
These programs often have a user-friendly interface and can backup your Windows Mail emails, contacts, and settings.
Additional tips

- If you're using a third-party backup software, make sure to check the software's documentation for specific instructions on backing up Windows Mail.
- If you're switching to a new email client or operating system, you may need to import your backed-up emails and settings into the new client.
