EB and I have had the good fortune to have helped over 1000 nice folks with their computer problems…and one thing we’ve learned: People are really fussy about their email and their photos. They don’t want to lose either. We’ve seen folks with over 100,000 emails saved. And hey! Who are we to tell people – “that’s an awfully lot of email!”

Since email is so important to most of you, we’re featuring as today’s freeware pick an email backup program called KLS Backup. It makes it easy to back up your email and settings and folder structure. It’s as easy as picking your email program from a list and clicking a button.

KLS Mail Backup is a great freeware backup system for your email and for your browser favorites (bookmarks) and settings. It supports many different email programs including Windows Live Mail, Windows Mail, Outlook Express, IncrediMail, Thunderbird, SeaMonkey, The Bat! and PostBox. As for the browser backup — it supports Internet Explorer, Mozilla, SeaMonkey, Firefox and Opera (too bad for me, I use Chrome).

We have to work harder each week to find decent…unbundled… really good freeware. KLS Mail Backup is really good freeware. No bundles. No adware. No ads. No malware. Just the best free email backup system we’ve seen.

Here’s some details from the KLS Mail Backup website:

“…Backup:

Windows Mail profile and Windows Contacts

Windows Live Mail profile, Windows Live Contacts and Windows Live Messenger Files

If you’re email is important to you, then you need this program. If you like easy to use programs – you’ll love this one. If you can read and click buttons – you can use KLS Mail Backup.

One caveat. If we’ve (or you’ve) set up Windows Mail in a version of Windows other than Vista — you may get a message that KLS Mail Backup doesn’t support this version — it means it doesn’t support Windows Mail on that particular version of Windows. No big deal. You can backup Windows Mail by going to C:\ Users \ Your User Name \ App Data\ Local \ Microsoft \ Windows Mail and backup the entire Windows Mail folder to external hard drive or USB flash drive. If you don’t see App Data in that directory — Open Control Panel, switch to Category View, click Appearance and Personalization, then “Show hidden files and folders” and check the box next to “Show hidden files, folders and drives”. Then click OK. Now you’ll see it!

If you’re convince we’re telling it straight and you want to start backing up your email right now ( or you have a gazillion favorites / bookmarks in your browser you want to back up ) then visit this page, read more about KLS Mail Backup and download it so you can sleep tonight!

    What about Outlook???? Word to the wise….I used PST backup which worked fine once but the second time it wiped out ALL, as in EVERYTHING I had in Outlook. Restoring the backup worked, but then I had duplicate folders and missing some…it was a mess. I didn’t dare tell Darcy & TC! 🙂

    How does it compare to your own EmailGuardian, which I have been using for years?
