Backup your Files or Folders to your Email Account
Note:Only for Yahoo and Gmail
Installation
First download the latest version of Backup To EMail.
DOWNLOAD HERE
Then run the installation, next the main configuration screen will appear as follows:
In this screen you need to enter the email address where you wish your files/folders to be backuped to when you right click and backup them.
You can add more email accounts to backup to by clicking the "Configuration --> Mail Server" menu.
The email address you enter in this main screen will be the main email address that files/folder will be sent, this default email address will be the email address that files/folders be backuped to and will be assigned to the right click menu item "Backup To EMail".
However you will be able to backup items to this mail address also from the "Send To" menu option, if you have set up more email accounts to backup to they will also appear there as seen in the following screenshot:
In the "Send To" menu option you can choose to which account you would like to backup your files/folder thus you can decide for example to backup important files to GMail while unimportant files to some other less trusted mail servers that has more storage than GMail but are less trusted (there are such that let you store tens of GB of emails).
The next important thing to do while installing Backup To EMail is to choose your outgoing mail server and to define your outgoing properties, this is done through "Configuration --> Mail Servers" menu item:
Over the next screen that appears you are first able to edit by default your default account (The account for which backups would be send through right click menu on files/folders with "Backup To EMail" menu item):
By default you will see the email account that you entered in the main screen; if you haven't entered an email address in the main screen then press "New Account" and enter your details.
Description of fields:
Account: The email account you are editing
Email address: The email address you want files/folders to be backuped to
Outgoing server: The same settings as you have in outlook express or thunderbird, if you use an email account of gmail or yahoo then enter for gmail: smtp.gmail.com
yahoo: You will need to set here a different mail server than smtp.mail.yahoo.com that is because this mail server is available only for registered users so if you have for example a gmail account put the details of your gmail account in Backup To EMail, and in the Backup To EMail address put your yahoo email address.
Requires authentication: for gmail and yahoo this field should be checked. Usually mail servers do not allow anyone to send emails through them (so that spammers would not abuse them to send spam) but only registered user, so if you are a registered user in gmail or yahoo or with your ISP check this field so you will send emails (backup files) through your authenticated account.
SSL: Check this checkbox for gmail and yahoo. This field should be true in case your email account encrypts your emails sending traffic. Files backuped will also be encrypted with SSL protocol.
Username: if you checked the field Requires authentication then enter here your username, for yahoo and gmail this is simply your username to the yahoo/gmail account.
Password: If you checked the field Requires authentication then enter here your password, this is required for connecting to your outgoing mail server your passowrd is encrypted and safely stored, and is not used for anything but backup to email.
Click "OK" to store your details.
Backing up files/folders
This is the fun and easy part. Once your "Backup To EMail" configured you can right click any file or folder and click on "Backup To EMail". A screen with a progress bar will apear and when it completes your file will be inside your email account.
Note: Files larger than 10MB will be split. Remember to update the outgoing server from Configuration --> accounts before sending.
Accessing Backup To EMail configuration
You can always configureBackup To EMail by going to windows start menu --> Backup To EMail --> Backup To EMail

Backing up Microsoft Outlook
The tool can be found here, installs in seconds, and puts a simple “backup” command on to the File menu. Open this and folder (data) files and archives can be selected for backup as needed. It also automates the restore process, so no need to remember which directory the .pst must go in as would be needed when using the above methods. Make sure this backup setup has been tested, perhaps using a second dummy email account. Create the account, import a .pst, then back it up using the plug-in command. No point in getting to the desperate day when a reinstall is needed only to discover that not all the folders or emails have backed up correctly. It does happen. So why bother with options 1 and 2 at all? It never hurts to know your enemy, particularly if (as is possible), the backup is being made while the PC hard disk is failing and won’t allow certain types of menus or Windows functions to be accessed. In that case – if the above software is not functioning properly – there is a final line of defence called MS-DOS which will allow you to get at the *.pst file. 
If your company has an Exchange server setup then the backups will do done for you on a periodic basis, usually a week, and all that is needed is a call to the sysadmin to get a restore. If you work for a small business, or are on your own, the world might be a lot more complicated.
This article assumes that email is not left on or used with an Exchange server, and that email backup from the client is a critical task. The main reasons that Outlook backup on standalone PCs is important is data loss and migration from one machine to another. It’s only been with the arrival of XP and Office 2003 that Microsoft has started to pay attention to the fact that people other than corporate users have been using Outlook for their POPmail, and need tools and guidance to make the process easier.
1: The long way
In principle, it should be an easy if manual process – just back up the relevant files, specifically the Outlook .pst file (containing email, folders, contacts and calendar), on a regular basis. There are a number of ways to find this file in the blizzard of directories on a hard disk, the easiest of which is to use the MAIL setup in Control Panel. Click on this, the click on Data files, then Personal Folders, then settings. The directory path to the .pst file will be visible. This file can be copied manually, or noted to be added to a backup schedule.
Unfortunately, as simple as this sounds, the .pst file has to be created from within Outlook on a regular basis. Its creation is not automatic, and this is where most of the problems begin. The manual operation involves using the import and export feature on the FILE menu, and following the prompts using “export to file”. There are several types of output file – which go unexplained of course – but the one to choose is the “Personal Folder File (.pst)” option. Using any of the others will necessitate adding a filter from the Office install CD. Are any of these alternative file formats useful? Only perhaps if you want to export for import into a separate database, otherwise they should be ignored.
Make sure to select the correct root folder in Outlook, and to click the check box that specifes to copy sub-folders. Depending on the version of Outlook (i.e not the cut-down Outlook Express), there will be an option to compress and encrypt the data, and add a password.
2. The simpler way
Being a Microsoft application, there is always a simpler but less obvious way to do all this. Just click FILE, then NEW, then “Outlook Data file”. Copy that file. Just remember where you copied it from when the time comes to copy back. See Microsoft’s description.
3. The best option
The main issue with these solutions is that they involve the user remembering to back up the file manually, an obvious weakness. But there is another way that an amazing number of people don’t know about. For some time now, Microsoft has offered a 160K plug-in for outlook that turns Outlook backup into a one-command task that can also be configured to remind the user to run the command on a scheduled basis.
DIR C:\ /s /b | FIND “*.pst”
Using Outlook Express? It’s not as easy to do, but Microsoft provides the basics on its website.
