What is MXCopy?

MXCopy is a lightweight email backup and restore tool designed for sysadmins, MSPs, and small business owners who use shared cPanel like hosting providers. It connects to your email account using IMAP and saves each message locally as a portable .eml file — no cloud sync, no bloated archives. With a simple, intuitive interface and optional command-line mode, MXCopy gives you full control over your backups without relying on your email provider. Whether you're securing critical messages or preparing for server migrations, MXCopy helps you copy your inbox — and keep your control.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use this to restore lost emails?

Yes. MXCopy includes a restore feature that lets you re-upload all .eml files back to your mailbox using IMAP.

Does this work with Gmail or Outlook?

MXCopy is built for standard IMAP servers. While it may work with Gmail or Outlook with proper IMAP settings, it's optimized for shared hosting environments like cPanel.

Can I schedule automatic backups?

Yes. MXCopy includes a command-line mode and a built-in tool to generate a command you can use with Windows Task Scheduler.

Why does my antivirus flag MXCopy as a trojan?

Some antivirus tools mistakenly flag MXCopy because it’s packaged using PyInstaller, a tool also used by malware authors. This is a false positive — MXCopy is safe, does not contain viruses, and works entirely offline. We’ve submitted it to antivirus vendors to reduce future alerts.
