Overview

What is Yandex Mail Backup?

Keep a secure, offline copy of Yandex Mail accounts independent from your hosting or domain configuration.

This dedicated page focuses on Yandex Mail Backup, built on the same secure email backup engine used across OnlinePCTools. Instead of relying solely on your provider's interface, you can connect using IMAP, choose exactly which folders to include, and download a portable archive that lives on your own storage — external drive, NAS, encrypted container, or cloud‑synced folder.

The process is straightforward: sign in with the same mailbox you use in Yandex Mail, select folders like Inbox, Sent, Archive, or custom labels, apply an optional date range, and then export in the format that best matches your next step. Whether you are migrating to another client, preparing for an audit, or simply keeping a personal copy, you stay in control of where your messages live.

Because the export uses open formats such as PST, MBOX, EML, and PDF, you are never locked into a single vendor. You can browse the same backup in different applications, hand it over to colleagues or legal teams, and keep it for years even if you later close or change your Yandex Mail account.

Recommended IMAP settings for Yandex Mail

IMAP host: imap.yandex.com
Port: 993 (SSL/TLS)

Best export formats for this tool

Use MBOX for cross‑platform archival, and PST when handing Yandex mail over to Outlook‑based teams.

All formats preserve key headers such as sender, recipient, subject, and date, and most keep attachments intact so nothing important is lost.

Typical use cases

  • Archiving a mailbox before switching providers or domains.
  • Keeping an offline copy of critical conversations for legal or compliance reasons.
  • Creating periodic backups to protect against accidental deletion or account issues.

Yandex Mail Backup vs manual webmail export

Manual download from webmail usually gives limited format options and poor folder-level control. This dedicated tool provides selective exports, date filtering, and multiple output formats in one workflow.

Selective scope: choose folders + date windows instead of exporting entire mailboxes every time.
Format flexibility: one source export for IT, legal, migration, and analytics teams.
Operational consistency: same process across Outlook, Gmail, Yahoo, Zoho, iCloud, and self-hosted domains.
FAQ

Questions about Yandex Mail Backup

Can I migrate from Yandex Mail to another email service with this tool?
Yes. Back up Yandex Mail data in a portable format and then import it into your target client or service. PST is ideal for Outlook users, while MBOX and EML work well for cross-platform migration.
Are attachments preserved in the exported backup?
Yes. Attachment-preserving formats such as PST, MBOX, EML, MSG, PDF, and HTML include message content with metadata and available attachments for complete records.
Can I back up only a specific folder or project mailbox?
Yes. You can select specific folders and skip others. This is useful when creating targeted archives for legal requests, projects, or team handovers.
How do I run recurring backup cycles without exporting everything each time?
Use date filtering to export only new messages since your last archive window. This creates practical incremental backups while keeping files smaller and easier to manage.

We used the Yandex Mail Backup page to archive mailbox data before a tenant migration. Folder mapping and export options made the transition much smoother.

For our audit cycle, we needed searchable and shareable exports. The Yandex Mail Backup workflow gave us consistent files for compliance review and legal retention.
