<![CDATA[Backup Opera Mail]]>I need to reinstall the opera mail, which was all mangled from one moment to the next. How do I backup accounts, contacts and emails? I only found the option to export contacts.

Thanks

But I ended up doing everything manually, copying the folders. It worked out!

If it is suited for you, then you can use it free of cost.

To meet my need I would have to get the paid version. The free version doesn't suit me. I appreciate your suggestion.

The path you should find in Help > About.

Accounts info is stored in accounts.ini. Contacts are in contacts.adr if I'm not mistaken.

Regarding the emails messages, if you have an Imap account, your messages will be redownloaded.

If I copy all the directories then the program will continue with the current wrong settings.
