Fossamail backup tool questions.

Unread post by phantom313 » 2016-08-15, 13:22

I just changed to Fossamail from Thunderbird. I have used MozBackup to backup my Thunderbird profile for some time. Now I am using the Fossamail profile backup tool. But this tool runs very slow. Much slower than MozBackup. Is something wrong????? Also, you can not backup or restore individual sections like just settings or just emails etc. Is this right ?????

The FossaMail backup tool is for backing up of your entire profile only. This can indeed take a substantial amount of time if you have a lot of mail stored in your profile since it highly compresses the backup.

Potentially, you can use the "portable" settings of MozBackup to use it with FossaMail if you prefer that.
