How can I get Apple Mail Database to Backup Automatically?

Matthew Guilmard

Hello there,

I have a habit of exporting apple mail database every month in order to keep the mailbox clean. I was wondering if this method can be automated as it takes a lot of time to export the emails every month. A daily backup or a backup at fortnight without me getting notice of it would save me time as well as the headache of backing up apple mail database every month. Is there any solution or setting of such type available in mac systems?

Mac systems already provide the backup system for all the things available in Mac with Time Machine. Time Machine is capable of backing up everything on mac. You just net to setup Time Machine. Here's How you can do so: http://osxdaily.com/2015/07/12/set-up-time-machine-backups-mac-os-x/

If you are looking to particularly backup apple mail then there are multiple third party applications available online to perform only email backup. One that is trending is Mail Backup X. Read more about Mail Backup X here: http://www.mailbackupx.com/

I hope this solves your query. Thanks
