Earlier I have posted about how to backup your tweets and Twitter archivebacking up your Facebook dataInstagram images, Blogger blog and Google Plus account data on your computer. It is a good thing that now all major social media sites are giving you the facility for backing up your social media profiles and data on your computer.

But unfortunately, this is not the case with the email services. That means, they do not provide the facility to have backup of your emails. But we all know that there is an app available for nearly everything. You can do that easily by using a simple and effective software in just few easy steps.

Just follow the steps given below to backup your emails on your computer or a USB drive.
