Hey, I've been using Mail Store Home to keep track of my messages lately. But I had a few trouble spots and now I need other ways to store them. Do you know any good alternatives like these tools? Thanks so much!

Email archiving is a big idea... If you send mail using the POP3 method, your computer already holds a saved copy right there. This copy stays where your email app puts it unless told otherwise. On the other hand, if you use IMAP, you just have a temporary version until you move or delete something. Then, when you start using an email program like Mozilla's Thunderbird, you can make your messages stay in files that look neat and easy to back up later.

Email archiving is a big word... If you use the POP3 protocol to get your mail, you already have a local copy stored on your computer or somewhere else based on how your email app works. If you use IMAP protocol, you only have a temporary version but you can still set up an email program that saves those messages in real folders like on your hard drive. For example, Mozilla's Thunderbird lets you keep all your emails in neat file boxes so it's easy to back them up safely.
