How should I configure my Outlook to ensure that my e-mail gets backed up?

PC Data Backups has a feature called Email Optimizer which works with Microsoft Outlook to backup your e-mail. To work correctly you should make sure that your e-mail account is set up correctly. Your Email needs to be stored on the computer that is being backed up.

Below you will find instructions on how to configure Outlook.

To set up Outlook properly:

In order for the PC Data Backups Agent with Email Optimizer to backup a .pst file, MAPI should be installed and properly configured in user’s machine.
