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

@katito42 Like you do any backup, you create a copy of the directory with the program data.

@leocg But I do not want to copy the entire directory, but only the e-mails, accounts and contacts. If I copy all the directories then the program will continue with the current wrong settings.

@katito42 Do a copy of the whole directory and, then, use only the files and folders you want when restoring the data in the new installation.

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.

@leocg Ok. I only use pop3. Can you tell which is the directory?

@katito42 Don't remember now, but I think it's storage or something like that.

The path you should find in Help > About.

@leocg Thanks. I will try to reinstall opera mail and use the backup of the accounts. Then I return here to inform the result.

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

@katito42 The software also offers a demo version that takes backup of Opera mail up to 50 email items. If it is suited for you, then you can use it free of cost.

@rohanwiese Precisely due to the limitation of 50 items that I mentioned that he would not attend me. But I ended up doing everything manually, copying the folders. It worked out!
