To back up Hotmail emails manually, you can use the Outlook desktop app. First, link your Hotmail account to Outlook by adding it through “Add Account” in the settings. Then, export your emails to a PST file via the “Import/Export” option. While this method works, it comes with challenges: time-consuming processes, technical complexity, and the risk of missing attachments or data during export. Furthermore, this manual process requires regular updates to keep backups current.
For a more streamlined approach, the Cigati Hotmail Backup Tool can simplify the process. This tool allows you to back up Hotmail emails in various formats, such as PST, MBOX, PDF, and more, without the hassle of manual configurations. Additionally, it supports scheduled backups, ensuring your data is always up to date, and it preserves attachments and folder hierarchy, reducing the risks of data loss and saving time.
