About

  MailBoxBackup is a set of utilities to backup mailboxes and view them:

   * IMap Downloader/Packer (IMapPack): Tool to download the mailboxes
   * IMap Server (IMapSrv): IMAP server for your backups
   * Mailbox Viewer (MBoxView): Tool to view downloaded mailboxes
   * EML Viewer (EMLView): Tool to view eml files
   * SMTP dev test (SmtpTest): Tool to intercept mails, e.g. for php development
   
  WARNING:
   - For now, the downloader cannot resume. You must let it download the entire
     mailbox. Once starting "mailbox stage", when encountering a network / imap
     related issue, it will reconnect and retry... forever / until you break.
   - Mailbox backups are saved as .zmb files. These are actually zip files,
     using your folder structure and and each email as an .eml file. However
     this does not mean you can / should open any .zip file with the tools.
   - If you specify a backup file ending with .zip, a .zip file, the extension
     .zmb will not be added.
   - If you specify a backup file ending with .7z, a .7z file will generated.
     However, you cannot use those with the viewer.
   - There are no password options (yet)
   - The EML Viewer uses the same codebase as the MailBox Viewer. If you have
     issues with a mail in the MailBox Viewer, you will have the same issue with
     the EML viewer.

Requirements
------------

  The utilities aim to be compatible with older Windows versions, but are
  currently actively tested on Windows 11 only. Let me known if there are issues
  with older Windows Versions.

Legal info
----------

  It is not fully decided how the software will be licensed. So for now, you can
  use the tools under this condition for free:

  Non-commercial and non-profit usage only.
  You may backup your own mailboxes only, up to 2 mailboxes.
  Use at your own risk.

  Even when the licening changes, you may still keep your backups and use them,
  but if you cannot fullfill the new requirements, you may not update to the
  latest versions of the tools.
