Hello,
suppose I have an account configured (gmail though imap or office 365) and I know that in a month it will terminate (eg because I’m stopping to collaborate with that company).
I imagine that after termination I will not be able to access the account and so all the previous messages too, correct?
If so, how can I make a backup of the messages, while the account is active, so that when the account will disappear I can anyway access my previous messages, mainly for historical reasons? What is the best approach for that need?
You need to copy all your IMAP sync to Local Folders in eMC.
To enable Local Folders: Menu ->Settings ->General ->In Right Hand window check ‘Show local folders’
Ok, thanks for your answer, skybat. I had local folders already enabled and I have done some tests and I have some clarifications needed:
. do you confirm that I cannot copy an entire account but I have to select and copy folder by folder, given an account?
. I verified that if I copy a folder (eg with 395 messages) and then copy again it, it is not smart and then at the end I have double messages (790 messages in my example)
Is there any sort of ability to copy the folder and have an incremental copy? Or do I have to manually select in the source folder only the newer messages?
. does it mantain thread conversation across copy?
