Core features
Download, sign in, choose, set a format and export.
Download
Install Amazon WorkMail Backup Tool on a Windows PC and open it. The welcome screen leads straight to Add Account, with no extra setup on the AWS side.
Bulk folders and subfolders are saved at once, terabytes of data are supported, and a pause or stop is possible while the backup is working.
Sign in
Type the WorkMail ID and password, then use Open and Add Account. A preview of stored data starts to build while the mailbox loads.
Credentials sit next to advanced settings. Double-click any mail in the preview to read it before anything is saved.
Choose
Tick the folders or single emails to back up. A date range filter limits the backup to the period that matters.
The folder tree keeps the source hierarchy, the header view shows message properties, and sender and content filters narrow the list.
Format
Select the output type for the mail. A smart file naming option tells every resulting file apart.
PST, MBOX and EML email files, PDF, CSV, vCard, text and HTML documents, attachments in a separate folder, single emails to any path and phone numbers and addresses pulled out.
Export
Start the export and let the mail land on the computer. Pause or stop the job whenever needed.
The live job shows progress with pause and stop buttons, and files are named by the naming option. For Outlook next, read Transfer WorkMail email to Outlook.
Flexible use
One full mailbox, a date range or a move to another service: Amazon WorkMail Backup Tool handles all three. Test your job in free demo before you buy.
Back up a full mailbox
Sign in with the WorkMail ID, tick folders and save a local copy before a clean-up.
Back up one period only
Set a date range and only the mail from those dates is saved, with sender filters on top.
Move WorkMail mail to a new service
Name Gmail, Office 365 or Yahoo as the target and the mail lands in matching folders.
Before exporting
Quick prep for an AWS mailbox archive.
Access
Keep the credentials handy

Scope
Set a date range
Big mailboxes hold years of mail. A date range limits the first backup to the oldest mail.
Space
Prepare the local drive
Terabyte backups are allowed. The drive still needs room for them.

User testimonials
683 ratings from AWS mailbox owners who archived WorkMail with Corbett.
Pulled from 683 reviews on rating sites and customer emails. Below are three, quoted exactly.
I was looking for a way to download all the email address from my WorkMail, and a simple query took me to this page and I have used this tool and it worked great.I liked this feature that it allows users to download all the emails from WorkMail to a local drive.
I have used AWS WorkMail Backup Software to archive all my WorkMail data to my local computer in desired file format and I loved the fact that it allows users to download the backup in various file formats like PDF, PST, MBOX, etc.
I loved this tool, it works amazingly well in the rush to free up my WorkMail space and I've tried all possible approaches, but each method showed a problem and I couldn't back up all the data. However, Amazon WorkMail Backup Software worked seamlessly with no obstacles or errors.
Best practice
Saved mail is only useful if it opens later. These four habits protect your WorkMail archive.
Back up before the clean-up
Deleting old mail from WorkMail cannot be undone. Save a local copy first.
Open a sample file
After saving, open a handful of messages. Confirm folders, photos and attachments came across.
Keep PST and PDF
Repeat the backup with a second format. PST for Outlook and PDF for reading anywhere is a common pair.
Store a copy elsewhere
Keep one copy on a home drive and one on a USB stick or NAS, named by address and date.
