You might want to create a local backup of your messages or download them from your server, whether your email account is going to be canceled soon or your space on the server is getting filled up. This applies mainly to IMAP and EWS accounts. This tutorial will provide steps to follow if you want to save a copy of your messages inside eM Client using the Local folders. Make sure to have the option to Show local folders enabled in Menu > Tools > Settings > General > General. Here are steps to follow to copy your messages and/or folders to Local folders: To copy folders:
You can select the 'Local folders' directly if you want the folder to be at the same level as the Local Inbox, Sent, etc. If you select any of the folders directly, the folder you are copying will be a subfolder of that folder. To copy just messages:
The copying can take some time if you have a large number of messages that have not been previously downloaded for offline use. In that case eM Client is downloading messages fully for the first time so it takes longer than copying a message that is already downloaded in eM Client. After the messages are safely copied, you can remove the originals from your account folders, in case you need to free up space on your email server. The copies in eM Client's Local folders are safe from any external force.
