Windows Mail app is an email client developed by Microsoft to manage your email account. You can use it to write, send and receive email on your Windows computer. It is important to create a backup of the Mail APP.

It is a pity that there is no direct way to create a Mail app backup so far, and you can only choose to back up the specific email you want to save. Two ways are available to make a backup for your Windows Mail emails:

• 1. Back up Windows mails via EML files
• 2. Back up Windows mails via print to PDF

Steps to back up Windows mails via EML files:

• Select the mail you want to back up, click the three dots in the top-right corner, and choose the "Save as" option.
• In the Save as window, give the backup file a name and choose .eml format.
• Browser a location to save the backup, and click the Save button.

Steps to back up Windows mails via print to PDF:

• Open the email you want to back up and click the three dots in the top-right corner. 
• Tap the "Print" option, and select the "Microsoft Print to PDF" option.
• Give the backup file a name, and click the Save button.

Windows Mail stores our important information and having a backup of these emails can ensure their security.

Nowadays, most people prefer to use Outlook as their personal email manager, and if you are one of them, you can use EaseUS Todo Backup to safeguard your Out emails, which is a professional Outlook backup software that allows you to create a backup of your Outlook emails with ease.
