GoDaddy Email Backup Tool for Business Mail

Corbett GoDaddy Email Backup Tool Saves Business Mailboxes to Your PC

GoDaddy email is tied to billing and to the domain. Miss a renewal, move the domain to another registrar or delete a staff user and the mailbox can vanish with no recycle bin. GoDaddy Email Backup Tool saves a dated copy of every info@, sales@ and staff inbox on a drive the company controls.

Not sure which GoDaddy email plan is active?

Open email.godaddy.com and sign in. If GoDaddy's own webmail opens, the plan is Professional Email on secureserver.net. If a Microsoft login page appears, it is Microsoft 365 from GoDaddy, which works like any Microsoft tenant.

Office 365 Backup Tool

Other hosting pages: Bluehost backup tool, cPanel email backup wizard, DreamHost backup tool and Webmail backup tool. Any other IMAP account is on the email backup software page.

Core features

How GoDaddy Email Backup Works, Step by Step

Five screens of GoDaddy Email Backup Tool, from mailbox login to a finished file on disk.

GoDaddy sign-in screen with secureserver.net settings loaded

Connect

Connect a GoDaddy Business Mailbox

On Professional Email, choose GoDaddy and imap.secureserver.net on port 993 opens by itself. Type the full address and its mailbox password.

On a Microsoft 365 plan the familiar Microsoft login window opens, MFA included. Queue info@, sales@ and staff boxes from one CSV and a slow office connection only pauses the job.

GoDaddy folder tree with totals and checkboxes

Folder selection

Choose Which GoDaddy Folders to Save

Shared company inboxes collect years of folders: clients, suppliers, quotes, old projects. The tree shows them all with totals.

Dead folders can be left out and active ones saved first. Empty project folders can be hidden and Junk and Deleted Items can stay on the server.

Message preview

Check a GoDaddy Email Before It Is Saved

Open any business message first. Raw source and full headers show when an order, quote or contract email arrived, the evidence an accountant or a lawyer will ask for.

Content shows text, sender and recipients, message header shows the delivery route, properties note size and attachments and hex with raw message exposes the untouched original.

GoDaddy filters by client, date and size

Selective backup

Save GoDaddy Email by Client, Date or Size

Two search panes narrow folders and messages on their own. Export the mail of one client, one financial year or one departing employee without saving the rest of the box.

Filter by financial year or custom range, client name, subject or text, mail with invoices attached and a size limit. No duplicate copies of the same email are saved.

GoDaddy output format and destination options

Output options

Store GoDaddy Mail as Files or Move It

Once the preview looks right, send GoDaddy mail to a local folder, a NAS or straight into a new mailbox, which helps when the company is moving off GoDaddy hosting.

Outlook PST plus MBOX, EML or MSG for other mail apps, PDF and HTML for records, CSV and TXT for spreadsheets. Transfer a mailbox into Google Workspace, Microsoft 365 or another host with the Email Migration Tool.

Three Ways to Backup GoDaddy Email With One Tool

GoDaddy Email Backup Tool handles a single box, every company mailbox or a host move. Test your job in free demo before you buy.

Backup one business mailbox

Connect info@ or any address, tick folders and save a PST or PDF copy before a renewal or domain transfer.

Backup every company mailbox

Move GoDaddy mail to a new host

Name a live Google Workspace, Microsoft 365 or IMAP mailbox as the target and the mail lands in matching folders.

Before connecting

GoDaddy Email Login Settings by Plan

GoDaddy has two separate mail systems so the right server and login depend on the plan. Here is what to check.

Professional Email

imap.secureserver.net, port 993

SSL switched on, the complete address as login name and the mailbox password. A reset in the GoDaddy Email and Office Dashboard applies right away.

Microsoft 365 plan

These mailboxes live on outlook.office365.com. Microsoft blocks typed passwords so the backup tool hands off to the Microsoft window and any MFA code is entered there.

Older accounts

Workspace Email is retired

GoDaddy shut down Workspace Email and moved those users to Professional Email or Microsoft 365. Settings saved years ago in Outlook or a phone will fail until they are updated.

To move GoDaddy mail into another program instead, see How to export GoDaddy email to Outlook and GoDaddy email to Gmail.

Thunderbird Sync vs GoDaddy Email Backup Tool

GoDaddy webmail cannot export a full mailbox and a deleted user leaves no recycle bin behind. Thunderbird can sync one GoDaddy box over IMAP at no cost. Here is how the two compare for a small business.

Task	Thunderbird	GoDaddy Email Backup Tool
Cost	Free	$99 one time
Copy one company mailbox to one PC	Works well	Works as well
Output files	MBOX in Thunderbird's profile folder	Eight formats, PST and PDF included
Export one client or one year	Pulls every folder down	Client, date, size and attachment filters
Prove when an email arrived	Raw source only	Five views down to hex
Setup time	Install, add the box, wait for sync	Connect and start
Ten staff mailboxes	Added one by one	One CSV batch
Handing the copy to an accountant	Needs Thunderbird to open	PST or PDF opens on most office PCs

Rows tinted green are where Thunderbird has the edge.

One GoDaddy mailbox kept in Thunderbird or Outlook on one PC is free and works. The manual Outlook route is explained in How to export GoDaddy email to Outlook.

Best practice

How to Keep Your GoDaddy Backup Safe

Saved mail is only useful if it opens later. These four habits protect your company archive.

Backup before deleting a user

A deleted GoDaddy user cannot be brought back. Export the mailbox, open it, then delete.

Open a sample file

After saving, open a handful of messages. Confirm client folders and attachments came across.

Save PST and PDF

Repeat the backup with a second format. PST for Outlook and PDF for records is a common pair.

Store a copy off the host

Store one copy on a NAS or external disk, named by mailbox and date, away from the GoDaddy account.

Common questions

GoDaddy Email Backup Tool FAQs

Plans, logins, staff mailboxes and what the tool will not do.

Why backup GoDaddy email if GoDaddy hosts it?

Access follows the bill. A lapsed domain or a declined card can lock the mailbox and deleting a user removes the mail with no recycle bin. A local copy protects client records and invoices whatever happens to the account.

Can I export a complete mailbox from GoDaddy webmail?

No. GoDaddy webmail has no bulk export and messages can only be saved singly. Complete folders call for GoDaddy Email Backup Tool or a desktop mail client.

Which GoDaddy email plan do I have?

Go to email.godaddy.com and log in. GoDaddy webmail opening means Professional Email. A redirect to a Microsoft login means Microsoft 365 from GoDaddy.

What are the IMAP settings for GoDaddy Professional Email?

Use imap.secureserver.net on port 993 with SSL. Log in with the complete address and its mailbox password. Once GoDaddy is selected, the tool fills in server and port.

My Microsoft 365 from GoDaddy login fails. Why?

Microsoft does not accept passwords typed into outside software. The tool opens Microsoft's own login window instead. Enter the password there and approve the MFA prompt if one appears.

Why do my old GoDaddy Workspace Email settings fail?

Workspace Email no longer exists. GoDaddy moved those mailboxes onto its two current plans so find out which one yours became and use that plan's settings.

Will the backup keep my GoDaddy folder layout?

Yes. Client folders and their subfolders come out with the same names and nesting. A flat single folder is available if you prefer.

Can I backup every mailbox on my company domain?

Yes. Sign in once per mailbox and list them all in a CSV. info@, sales@, support@ and staff boxes then process as one batch.

Are invoices and other attachments included?

Yes. Invoices, spreadsheets and images stay with the email they came in. Extract can pull out files, contact addresses or phone numbers separately.

Should I backup a mailbox before an employee leaves?

Yes. Export the mailbox to PST or PDF and open it to confirm. Only then delete the user in GoDaddy, because a deleted GoDaddy user cannot be brought back.

Can a later backup add only new GoDaddy mail?

Not automatically. For a monthly routine, start the date range at the previous backup and filter duplicates so the copy grows with new mail only.

Can GoDaddy mail move into Google Workspace or Outlook?

Yes. Set a live account as the destination and the mail lands in Google Workspace, Gmail, Microsoft 365 or another IMAP host. A PST import into Outlook is the other option. See GoDaddy email to Gmail.

Does Corbett store or relay my company email?

No. Your office PC connects to GoDaddy itself and writes the files to your own disk. Nothing passes through Corbett.

Does it work on macOS or Linux?

No. GoDaddy Email Backup Tool is built for Windows and Windows Server only.

Is there a free GoDaddy email backup demo?

Yes. It signs in, shows every folder, applies every filter and previews mail. Saving stops after 10 emails per folder, enough to test with real client mail.

Which formats can GoDaddy mail be saved in?

PST, MBOX, EML and MSG open in mail clients. PDF, HTML, CSV and TXT serve records and lists.

Can I limit the backup to one client or one year?

Yes. Filters apply to financial year or custom range, client name, subject, text inside the mail, attachments and size.

Can I prove when a business email arrived?

Yes. The preview shows the full header and raw source down to hex, which records the delivery route and time stamps.

Does the tool delete mail from GoDaddy?

No. It only reads the mailbox. Clean the account yourself once the archive is checked.

Can I open a saved file without Outlook?

Yes. Open it read-only in the free email viewer software.

Does it work on Windows 7?

Yes. Windows 11 and 10 are supported along with all older versions.

How much does GoDaddy Email Backup Tool cost?

One payment of $99 buys a lifetime licence for up to 5 machines, with a 30 day refund window.
