How to Backup Koma-Mail:

 

To backup Koma-Mail just copy the whole user directory and save it somewhere else, for example on cd-rom. To restore your backup just copy it back into Koma-Mail and start the program.

If the user does not exist, create it and press login.

 

Another way is the automatic backup function of Koma-Mail. If you activate it Koma-Mail will copy all files into a subfolder of your user-direcotry.
