v-archive: Automated Full Email Incremental Archiver

Table of Contents
v-archive

Backup is not just about the Inbox; it’s about preserving the entire communication history. v-archive is the latest automation tool from vtoollab.com. Unlike POP3 tools that are limited to the Inbox, v-archive leverages the IMAP protocol to traverse every corner of your mailbox—Sent items, custom folders, and Drafts—ensuring zero data loss.

Core Advantages
#

  • Full Dimension Archiving: Automatically scans all server-side folders (Inbox, Sent, Drafts, etc.) and mirrors the original hierarchy locally.
  • Smart Incremental Sync: Powered by UID tracking, the tool remembers the sync progress for each folder. Subsequent runs only download new messages, significantly saving bandwidth.
  • Superior Compatibility: Specially optimized for legacy corporate environments like Exchange 2010, supporting automatic downgrade to TLS 1.0 for secure handshakes.
  • Standard .eml Storage: Messages are saved in the universal .eml format, compatible with Outlook, Thunderbird, and native Mail apps.
  • Internationalized Interface: Bilingual (EN/ZH) console output with real-time status updates on sync progress, UID changes, and server states.
  • Certificate Immunity: Built-in SSL/TLS verification bypass, allowing stable connections even with self-signed or expired certificates common in intranet environments.

Getting Started
#

  1. Download and extract the zip package below.
  2. Run v-archive.exe; the tool will generate a default tasks.txt configuration file.
  3. Edit Configuration: Fill in your IMAP server details, credentials, and the local root directory for archiving in tasks.txt.
  4. Execute: The program will begin a full scan and track progress in the .history folder. Ideal for deployment on a NAS or server for scheduled backups.
