I didn't want the super-fast (and super-expensive) internal storage on my Mac to be used, and since this is meant to be a backup, putting the data on a RAID is a good practice. First, note that I put my Gmail Archives directory on my external Drobo 8D RAID.
#GMAIL BACKUP MAC ARCHIVE#
Mail Archiver X will archive emails from many email clients (Apple Mail, Outlook, and Thunderbird) as well as cloud accounts like Gmail and Exchange (although you can only backup Exchange via your email client). But, according to the program's author, the version most folks will want is the Standard edition that has a one-time $44.95 fee.
#GMAIL BACKUP MAC PRO#
There are several versions of Mail Archiver X, including a free 10-day demo mode and a pro server mode. Here's a step-by-step walkthrough on getting started.
I brought in a copy and put it through the test. Is there a simple-to-use app that can actively backup my personal Gmail account to my Mac?Īs it turns out, there is a program that does just what Carmela asks for. I don't want to pay another fee and I don't want yet another cloud provider to have my email. I don't like the idea of backing up Gmail to another cloud provider. This time, I also got a letter from ZDNet reader Carmela, who asks: As always, this is a guide that gets a lot of interest. You can then view or restore backed up messages in any Web browser.Last week, I updated my annual guide to backing up Gmail for 2020. If you don’t want the bother of setting up a local email client, or prefer to avoid the clutter of extra files on your disk, you can back up Gmail’s messages to another cloud-based service for a modest fee. So for added security, be sure to use Time Machine or another backup program of your choice to keep your local files-including downloaded email-backed up. But because IMAP keeps your email program and Gmail in sync, deleting a message in either place (even if inadvertently) also makes it disappear from the other. Once your messages have been downloaded to an IMAP client, you have two copies of each-one on your Mac and one on Google’s servers. Make sure IMAP support is enabled in Gmail before using any backup technique. Be sure to leave it running long enough to download all your messages before quitting. With your client set up correctly, all you need do is remember to launch it and check your Gmail account (or allow it to check automatically) once a day.
In addition, click Advanced and make sure all the Gmail folders you want to back up have a check in the Download column. Make sure Keep Messages for This Account On This Computer is checked, select Synchronize All Messages Locally Regardless of Age, and uncheck Don’t Download Messages Larger Than _ KB. In the list on the left, under your Gmail account, select Synchronization & Storage. In Thunderbird, choose Tools -> Account Settings. Click OK, and the close the Preferences window. Click Advanced, and then click Server check Always Download Complete Message Bodies is checked and uncheck In Inbox Only. In Outlook 2011, choose Outlook -> Preferences, click Accounts, and select your Gmail account in the list on the left.

Click Advanced, and from the Keep Copies Of Messages For Offline Viewing pop-up menu, choose All Messages And Their Attachments. In Apple Mail, choose Mail -> Preferences, click Accounts, and select your Gmail account in the list on the left.
