Aryson Email Backup Wizard vs Spanning Backup

Aryson Email Backup Wizard backs up or migrates mailbox data from web and cloud email accounts, saving messages and attachments to local or external drives. It supports more than 50 mailbox types, including Gmail, G Suite, Office 365, Yahoo Mail, iCloud, Zoho Mail and IMAP accounts. Export formats include PST, MSG, MBOX, EML, EMLX, HTML, PDF, CSV, RTF, XPS, DOCX and JPEG, among other document and image formats. Mail can also be moved directly to services such as Gmail, Office 365, Hotmail, iCloud Mail, Zoho Mail and Google Workspace. Batch Mode uses a CSV of account credentials to process multiple mailboxes; users can select folders, filter by date, preview items and skip duplicates. Further controls include splitting PST output and saving attachments separately or omitting them. The free version exports 50 emails per folder, while the full version removes that stated limit. Downloads are offered for Linux, macOS and Windows. A free plan and trial are listed; pricing starts at $119. Aryson lists free technical support 24x7.
