A handful of recurring situations push users toward a dedicated Opera Email Backup Tool instead of leaving data sitting inside an unmaintained client.
Opera Mail hasn't shipped a security patch, bug fix, or feature update since 2016, and it has no support for OAuth 2.0 sign-in or current TLS standards. Every day an account stays configured inside it is a day riding on outdated authentication. The SysInfo Opera Email Backup Tool pulls a clean, local copy of that mailbox before compatibility issues or a security incident put the data at risk.
Many people have multiple Opera Mail accounts from multiple email service providers because they opened email accounts one by one over the years. Migrate Opera Mail to Thunderbird, Microsoft 365, or Gmail simply means creating a separate account each time. Alternatively, a single CSV with all info makes it possible to set all accounts at once via Opera Backup Wizard.
It is not an option to search a less efficient email program if the legal or compliance department has to find some specific emails. With the help of the Opera Mail Backup Software, you can use the date range filter option in order to create a document that can be saved in the form of PDF, PST, or MBOX, allowing the archival process without the need to access the account again.
The tool operates within a predetermined collection of output types and end locations, ensuring complete transparency on the available options before a process begins.
| File Types Supported | PST, PDF, MBOX, EML, MSG, DOC/DOCX, JSON, CSV. |
|---|---|
| Platforms Available | Microsoft 365 (user and administrator access) and other IMAP systems. |
| Folders Supported | Inbox, Sent Items, Drafts, Bin, as well as any other directory or subdirectory included in the email account. |
These are the controls you'll actually use once the tool is pointed at an Opera Mail-configured account.
Single & Bulk Mailbox Backup
Run a job against one account, or switch to CSV-based batch processing to work through several Opera Mail-configured mailboxes in a single pass.
Secure IMAP/POP3 Authentication
Connect using the email address, password, server hostname, and port your account already uses, whether that's IMAP or POP3, with SSL/TLS handling the connection.
Selective Mailbox Folder Backup
Browse the mailbox in a folder-tree view and choose specific folders, custom folders, or subfolders instead of processing the entire account by default.
Backup & Migration Destinations
Save output locally in the chosen file format, or authenticate a destination tenant and send the data straight to Microsoft 365, Gmail, or an IMAP server.
Advanced Email Filtering
Narrow down the job with date-range filters plus folder, subject, sender, or attachment criteria, so only the messages that matter get processed; otherwise, don’t consume your time.
Previous Migration Management
Use the "Skip Previously Migrated" option to prevent your emails from being processed again and eliminate duplicates by filtering data based on the Subject, Sender, and/or Receiver fields.
Flexible Backup & Storage
Set the output location, split large PST or MBOX files by size, choose whether attachments are saved separately or get excluded, and apply a custom folder name to the resultant file.
Mailbox Cleanup & Data Exclusion
Exclude deleted emails, empty folders, or attachments when they aren't needed, and free up server-side storage afterward by moving processed items to the bin or deleting them permanently.
Real-Time Migration Reporting
Monitor active jobs from the live progress panel, and assess the report to see the details of the processed, skipped, and erroneous data.
Cross-Platform Compatibility
You can perform the same backup/migration procedure on both Windows and Mac with an interface developed for technical and non-technical users.
These are the basic steps in the guide to backing up Opera Emails to Other Formats or Platforms.
Begin by selecting the IMAP or POP3 account you have set in Opera Mail and providing the original server, port, and login credentials, or add some accounts in bulk by uploading a CSV file.
You can access the account in the tree view and pick various emails or folders for processing after fetching their counts according to your requirements.
In this step, it is all about filtering the content by date, folder, subject, sender, and/or attachments to narrow down the search for backup or migration for the opted output format/client.
Click the Start Migration button once you have chosen the output location, and run the backup or migration. Use the real-time progress in the dashboard and verify from migration reports.

SysInfoTools has spent more than 16 years building backup and migration software, and that experience shows in how the Opera Email Backup Tool handles an account that its original client can no longer protect. The software runs on a zero-credential storage policy, connecting directly between your mail server and the chosen destination without logging, storing, or transmitting passwords to any external server. Also, non-destructive processing and expert filtering allow following the same automated workflow meant for a single user's mailbox in the case that numerous accounts from an ancient version of Opera Mail are being worked on.
We have a reliable technical support team to help you at any time with anything that relates to software, file saving, fixing issues, & others.
