How to archive my emails?

  • Typically you do not have to archive your emails, because there is a backup system. Saving disk space (on the mail account) is also 'normally' not necessary.
  • If you leave the institute and you loose your IMATH and also the UZH email address, it might me necessary to make a copy of your mails.

Copy the mails by yourself

Via Thunderbird, Apple Mail, ...

  • Quick and easly solution.
  • Drawback: not so stable if you have thousands of emails or a huge amount of folders.

Step by step:

  • Setup any email client on your computer. F.e. 'Thunderbird' (http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/) or Apple Mail. Configure your IMATH Account.

  • Copy (duplicate!) all mails (mark all mails and choose 'copy') to
    • a) a local email folder (this becomes your archive/backup), or
    • b) a second configured (a free email service like gmail, gmx, ...) email account.
    • In most applications, you have to copy/duplicate each folder separately (no recursive copy).
