Add Multiple IMAP Accounts for Backup

The newest version of the SysTools IMAP Backup Tool for both Windows and Mac includes a multi-account addition feature. Users can now add more than one IMAP email address at once and back up all the data together.

Users no longer have to struggle with manual backups and can keep track of several accounts at once. Thereby ensuring the safety of every email message across the different hosts.

Accounts from the major email service providers, including Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook, AOL, etc, that allow app password creation are supported.

More than one account belonging to the same IMAP host can also be added together. This combined bit subfolder selection gives users granular control over every backup situation.

Multi Account IMAP Backup
Backup Dashboard

Realtime Backup Tracking Dashboard

Users can analyse and view the entire backup operation from a single screen. It shows the number of mail processes, the failure count, and the overall status of all email accounts that are being backed up.

The Default Status is In Progress at the start of the backup. By hitting the Pause button, users can halt the backup operation. When ready, admins can resume the process again.

Bring in Local User Profile data to the destination that is present inside the source-side computers.

A dedicated Stop mechanism is present to end the migration prematurely. With a progress bar, you can see the subfolder that is being backed up. Moreover, the entire destination path where the items are being deposited can be seen there.

Check IMAP Backup History

The tool provides a separate page containing a tabular display of all User Email addresses, Mail Count, Failed Count, Status, along with an Action column. The native setting of the Action bar is set to Skip Backup for each account. But this can be changed to the following:

  • Retry Failed: To back up Items that were left out in the first run.
  • Full Backup:To Re-Run the entire backup again.
  • Delta Backup: To avoid an account during the re-run.
  • Skip Backup: Leave the IMAP Account's email data in its default state.

You can assign different backup actions to each account, and the tool behaves accordingly.
