Is it possible to extract one email from EM Client backup?
A newsletter which I produce on a monthly basis got corrupted yesterday and idealy I would like to extract an uncorrupted version from a day earlier without me having to redo the newsletter wihich includes a number of tables.
Others may have different suggestions, what I would try on a PC is the following:
In eM Client, create a current backup (Menu > Backup), wait for it to complete.
Double check your backup folder in File explorer to ensure that you have the required backups listed.
Important - disconnect your PC from the Internet by turning WiFi off, disconnecting cables, or turning your modem off. Confirm that you are disconnected, eg by attempting to access a web page in your browser.
Go to eM Client Settings > File > Restore and choose the older backup file that you want restored in the in the Select file for Restoration window
Wait for the restore to complete, when eM Client opens (i.e. still with Internet disconnected). Locate the old message that you want to recover and right click > Save as to your Desktop or your Documents folder. In Windows File explorer, confirm that you have the .eml file saved.
Now restore the database backup you made in 2. above
Reconnect the PC to the internet
You can then double click on the old message you saved in 6. to open it in eM Client
Thank you for the suggestion on recovering an email, I’ll put this on hold for the time being.
I could still read my email although the formatting had all gone to pot.
I reformarted the contents of the email and reinstated double spacing where appropriate. I had to reinsert tables which had become corrupted.
The end result is that I got my long email Newletter back to normal although this took me about an hour. Possibly this was quicker than going through the process you suggested.
Thanks for your input.
Good that you sorted your issue out. Thanks for your feedback.
