Google mail back up

[Linda Klok]

Hi Rob

How are you and your family doing?

I will stop working for one of my clients next week. I had a company email with them on Google Mail.
How do I make a back up of this Google mail that I will be able to access if needed in the future?

Thanks
Linda

Hi Linda,

We are good thanks. Amelia turned 8 the other week! My house is soon to not be a world of fairies and unicorns I fear… 😉

There are a couple of ways to achieve this, depending on how you want to back it up and whether you’ll ever have access to the account again.

1. If you will never have access to the account again and want to keep the emails – I recommend a tool called CloudGopher which is by far the easiest tool I’ve ever seen (about a year ago it didn’t exist and the solution was NOT so pretty or quick!!).
2. If you may have access to the account again – the administrator on the Google system you are using should ‘archive’ or ‘suspend’ your user account. Then if you want to get back into it, he/she just needs to un-suspend or un-archive you.

Does this help?
