If the Gmail scare earlier this week has you thinking about backing up your Gmail or other web-based email account, we’re here to help. Read on to learn how to backup your web-based email using open source email application Thunderbird.

Today we’re going to walk you through backing up your email using the free and robust open-source application Thunderbird.
