After backing up e-mail, you will want to view or access the information when needed.  There are a couple of programs that you can use to review e-mail formatted in .EML files stored on your computer or external storage (i.e. hard drive).  My recommendation is to copy the files to your local hard disk for faster access via explorer and from the recommended program.

 

MailStore provides you with the ability to backup and view e-mail from multiple sources. The Home Edition of the program is provided at no cost to you and can be downloaded from the following link:

Instructions for archiving the .EML files from the flash drive to your computer, (which essentially imports the e-mail files for viewing), can be found here:

You can also use Mozilla Thunderbird to import .EML files if you choose to.
