SecurCube IMAP Downloader

SecurCube IMAP Downloader is a specialized piece of software that enables you to create a local clone of an IMAP account, saving emails as EML files in a folder structure.

It is a fairly basic utility at present, and it clearly needs a bit more polish, but it can prove to be an invaluable tool for creating local backups.

The application does not require installation, as you only need to launch the downloaded executable file to get started. Quick connection parameters can be set for Gmail, iCloud, Outlook, Yahoo and several other providers, making your job a lot easier.

Once you have entered your account details, the program will scan your account in order to identify existing folders. You can select which of them should be saved, as well as set the maximum number of concurrent downloads.

The operation could take some time, depending on the number of emails that are being downloaded. Once the job is completed, the application will archive everything and create a log file that also contains MD5 and SHA1 hashes.

If an account has already been processed, the program can either download all the available data again or just finish a job that hadn’t been completed previously.

Unfortunately, your settings cannot be saved for future sessions, so this program is perhaps not very well suited for performing regular backups, as you will have to enter your account info and select the folders you are interested in every time.

The user interface is also not exactly impressive, as it seems to lack polish, but it has a straightforward enough layout.

SecurCube IMAP Downloader can certainly prove to be a helpful application if you wish to backup the contents of one or more IMAP accounts locally. It ensures they are organized in the same folder structure, and it even archives them to facilitate storage.
