How to Back Up and Restore Mail in Thunderbird 6

Posted 09/19/2011 at 1:15pm | by Adam Berenstain

If you use Thunderbird, you’re probably used to getting by without the bells and whistles –– or price tags –– of other, flashier mail clients. Who needs ‘em anyway, even for important operations like migrating to a new Mac or Thunderbird installation? Even if you don’t use Time Machine to back up your Mac’s drive, it’s easy to back up and restore your Thunderbird messages.

You probably use Outlook for business, which makes it doubly important you save every message when moving to a new copy of Outlook on another Mac or after reinstalling OS X. Fortunately it’s easy to do even if you don’t use Time Machine or another method to back up your Mac’s drive.

Lion’s Mail brings many new features, but it still won’t magically back up and restore your messages when you move to a new Mac or reinstall OS X. But don’t worry. It’s easy to transfer mail to a new copy of Mail, even if you don’t use Time Machine or another method to back up your Mac’s drive.

Sparrow Review

If you've waited an entire minute for Outlook to open, or fought with Mail's screen-spanning interface, you might have longed for a better way. Light, flexible Sparrow could be your answer. Its interface looks sparse, with a Twitter-esque inbox window where you can double-click messages to open them in their own windows, or in a drawer that slides out to the right. And that's just the beginning of Sparrow's flexibility.

How To Pick the Best Mac-friendly Mail Client

Posted 01/03/2011 at 9:48am | by Ian Betteridge

Email is short for “electronic mail”--of course--but these, days that “e” might as well stand for “everyday” or even “essential” since that’s how much we use it. It’s absolutely our preferred form of communication and has been for years—it’s hard to remember the last time the mailman delivered an honest-to-goodness paper letter.

But even if it’s a given that we’re all constantly sending and receiving email, what’s less obvious is which of the Mac-friendly email clients is the best fit for each user’s situation. Maybe you need a client that can capably handle multiple accounts, or perhaps you need one that can fetch messages from your company’s Microsoft Exchange server. Maybe you want one that can meticulously sort all your incoming email instead of dumping it all straight into your inbox.
