Mail Archiver X overview

Use Mail Archiver X to make your emails safe and save hours of your time with automatic email management: Your email client doesn't protect your emails. And your email client makes you waste a lot of time managing emails manually. Improve your Email Security.

  • If you delete an email accidentally then it's still in Mail Archiver X.
  • If your Gmail account gets hacked you won't loose all your emails.
  • You don't need to trust Apple to keep all your emails after a macOS upgrade.

Get back hours of your life each week if you let Mail Archiver X do the email management Setting up Mail Archiver X.

Set up Mail Archiver X in 3 steps:

  • Select where you want to archive from (email client or IMAP account),
  • Select mailboxes,
  • Select location of archive

Now you can start archiving!

Support for email clients, IMAP and mbox

Supported are Mail, Outlook, Postbox and Thunderbird.

You can archive from every IMAP account including Gmail and Office 365.

All attachments can be archived.

No internet connection is needed to access your emails.

Got lots of files in mbox, eml or emlx format? Put them all into Mail Archiver X by archiving mbox files.

Data Format

Archive your emails to Internal Database, PDF or Filemaker.

Internal Database: everything is in one location. The interface looks like an email client. You can search all the emails. The Internal Database can archive up to 1 Million emails in one archive.

PDF: It's a universal format, that will be accessible for years. You can put the PDFs on Dropbox, iCloud or your cloud of choice. You can even share the emails on Windows or Linux.

Filemaker: if you are familiar with Filemaker and have a license then you can archive to the Filemaker file that comes with Mail Archiver X (it's not required to use Filemaker).

What’s new in version 7.1.5

The app works great for me, never crashes and is fast. I downloaded about 60,000 emails from my domain and also gmail. I had to reinstall macos, and lost my license key. I emailed them and they replied in a few hours with a new license key.

pity to see so many bad reviews about this product. haven't used it yet. but I am happy the way Mail Backup X has been working. I was surprised to find so many features in just one tool. archiving, mail backing, mail viewing, and mail conversion as well. it doesn't let me find an alternative. the only tool in the market that works on yahoo mail archiving as well. a multi-purpose tool. this tool is probably designed aiming the need for next 5 years. quite ahead of its contemporaries. you can check it out at their home site: www.mailbackupx.com. I just found they have been running 50 % discount as well. get it asap.

I've just updated to version4 and have been a Mail Archiver user for a number of years. The set up is relatively quick and easy, the U.I. is good when looking at mail, and it imports Mail Tags into the archive. I've had no problem with search at all (the trick is to enter you search word then click through the various Mailbox folders you've set up).
As for the support, the developer offers some of the best support/service I've ever had. There have been times when I've had Beatrix get back to me within 5 minutes after a support request for some minor issue.
There is a trial version available, so all I can say is give it a go.

After this program constantly crashes I have went to Email Archiver Pro which kicks its ass. Get full search function and every email is turned into a PDF with attachments.

I've struggled with this utility for over a year. I just uninstalled it. After this update it restarted scheduled backups that had been dormant for many months Searches return zero matches even for a word like "and." Searches only work in a specific folder. No global search. If a folder has a nested folder in it I don't think it searches it. It's slow with a lot of beach balls and no progress bars/indicators for searches. The daily backups have a progress bar and it takes 4+ hours to process changes in my 9K emails adding 20-50 emails to the db in the end. It hangs after that and needs to be force quit. I think this must be my setup as others seem to think this utility works fine. I rate it as per my experience. The developer is responsive but I just can't spend the time/hassle. Mail Steward has been far superior for me with none of the hassles. Thanks ... Ken

Mail Archiver X is one of the best apps in its realm. There is alomost no apps that could overcome it. I follow and use this app for years and it is getting better and better. The developer Ms. Beatrix Willius responded on every my problem immediately and accuracy. The Best!

"All major email clients are supported: Apple Mail, Eudora . . ." As Eudora doesn't run in MacOS 10.7., which is the minimum for this software, this claim is inaccurate. :-(

As patp2247, I've found nothing better for a reasonable price. Some things miss me (eg management Apple Mail's flags) but overall, the software works well and most importantly, the support provided by Beatrix is excellent.

not really happy with this software, unfortunateliy there's nothing better - kerio is too expensive for one player. I make backups once a week, and every time mailarchiver takes over 100% of cpu, needs half a day to backup a lousy few mails- and stalls my mac.

The archiving and export to Filemaker does not work correctly. It exports a few thousand emails and then crashes. The developer said it works for many people, but not for everyone and did not come up with a fix. The search functionality is limited and slow.

This is the best mail archive app for mac, other closest alternative is eagle filer, i like eagle filer interface better, but unfortunately the email preview is messed up. But mail archiver x can preview my email nicely, without messing it up. Plus i amaze how the developers react to my email, they solve the problem right away, it's not a mistake to buy this. My wish for this app: 1. Better icon 2. Selectable tab in mail list Other than that, this is a great app.
