Email communication has expanded itself from professionals to home users and thus also faces the situations of corruptions and damages.

Emails easily become corrupt and deleted due to virus attacks, accidental deletions, header corruption of .dbx or .mbx file, damage in the transit, power failure, automatic system shutdown or the mails get permanently deleted from the ‘Deleted Items’ folder.

To avoid the situations of losing important emails, one should always create and maintain backup of the emails and contact addresses. This backup can be created at any location of your computer system or to any CDRW or DVD.
