Emails often become like grains of sand on a beach—countless, easily lost, and sometimes, when you’re looking for that one specific grain, incredibly frustrating to locate.And if your email files get corrupted or lost due to any event, it could get worse. This is why Thunderbird emails backups are so high-up in recommendation by data-management experts, but the conventional approach could often fall short.

Mail Backup X could be the tool to turn this around. It’s here to do one job and do it well: help youback up Thunderbird data and sort out your emails efficiently.

If you have never considered a third-party dedicated Thunderbird email backup utility, you might wonder why you need a separate tool for something as mundane as data backup.

The truth is, emails are vulnerable, and they pile up. They quickly reach a point where it is not easy to manage all of them. Backups are even harder to get a good grasp on. A misplaced click, a corrupted file, or an unexpected server outage, and you could lose all of it. That’s where Mail Backup X comes in, with a solid, reliable presence that gets to work immediately without fuss.

We don’t all work at the same time, in the same style, the same hours. Basically, not all workflow are similar. InventPure knew that before started developing InventPure. That’s why you will find the tool doesn’t force you into a new way of doing things. Instead, it adapts to your existing habits. If you’re a Thunderbird user, it respects that choice and works within that environment, making the transition to using a backup tool smooth and feel natural.

One quick way to put that into concrete illustration is this: to backup Thunderbird, you just click ‘Thunderbird’ as the source and then the process is the same as with any other email client you want to backup. The tool’s internal algorithms does the heavy lifting of data retrieval, handling of metadata, preserving hierarchies, and all that.

Let us dive into the specifics of backing up your Thunderbird emails using Mail Backup X without any fluff, and you will see much clearly what we mean by that.

Step 1: Opening Mail Backup X

Open Mail Backup X on your computer. You’re greeted by the Dashboard. It’s the starting line for what you want to do: back up your emails. Take a moment to familiarize yourself with the layout. You’ll see sections for reports, tasks, and activities—this gives you a snapshot of your backup status. Of course, if you just started out, you won’t see anything on your dashboard just yet.

Step 2: Start with a New Backup Profile

Now, let’s get down to business. On the left-hand menu, you’ll see ‘My Backup Profiles.’ Click it. This is where you can manage your different backup profiles. You’ll see an option that says ‘Setup a new backup profile’—click on this to create a new one. The same option is also available under ‘Tasks’ pane in the dashboard.

Step 3: Choosing Thunderbird for Backup

After you click to set up a new profile, you’ll see options for various email clients. Locate Thunderbird and click on it. This is you selecting which mailbox you want the software to focus on.

Step 4: Selecting Which Folders to Backup

Once Thunderbird is selected, you’ll get to a screen with a list of your folders. It looks like a file directory because that’s essentially what it is. Check the boxes next to the folders you want to back up. If you’re not sure, it’s okay to back up everything—you can never be too safe. Also, pay attention to the checkbox at the bottom that asks if you want the tool backup any new folders that you will add after creating this profile. It means, you can continue using Thunderbird normally, knowing that new folders are being backed up as well. Uncheck the box if you don’t need to backup new folders automatically.

Step 5: Configuring Your Backup Settings

After selecting your folders, you’ll be taken to the configuration screen. Here, you’ll provide other details for this Thunderbird backup profile.

• First is the name of the profile, such as ‘Thunderbird Backup’, or you can choose whatever name makes sense to you.
• Then, decide where you want your backups to be saved. It could be on your computer’s hard drive, an external drive, or a cloud storage space if you have that set up.
• Below ‘Storage’ is Security: This is where you’ll set your security preferences. If you want your Thunderbird backup to be encrypted, which in simple words mean “make my data private,” select ‘Secured.’ If you choose ‘Secured,’ you will be asked to setup the password for the application. You will also get a recovery key that can be used to access backups in case the profile-specific key is lost. (Note that if you lose both profile-specific encryption key and the recovery key, you will lose the access to your backup files. There’s no way for anyone to break the encryption)
• Then, decide on a backup schedule. If you check ‘Automatic,’ the app will regularly check for new emails to back up without you having to lift a finger. If you prefer to do it manually, that’s an option too.
• Add the USB to turn on automatic USB-snapshot of backups (another quiet handy way to keep the backups to yourself for easy retrieval)

Step 7: Saving Your Backup Profile

Hit ‘Save’ once you’ve configured everything. The software tool will go ahead and start processing your Thunderbird data for backups based on your configurations.

Your profile is ready and will appear in the ‘My Backup Profiles’ section.During the active status (when the emails are being backed up), you will also progress under the ‘Activities’ pane.

Step 8: Managing Your Backups

You can always come back to the ‘My Backup Profiles’ to see your Thunderbird backup profile. Here, you can start the backup right away, schedule it for later, view logs, delete profile, view data, retrieve data,or make changes to the settings if you need to.

That’s it. You’ve told Mail Backup X exactly what to do, and it’ll handle it from here. Your emails from Thunderbird will be backed up according to the settings you chose, and you can rest easy knowing they’re stored safely.
