How Emails Save in Hosting Account

Chapter 7 : How emails save inside the mail folder

I will take the "general" email account as an example.

Assume that the "general" account have sent and received a lot of emails after some time. We also created and moved related emails to the following folders:
  • signup_record
  • transfer_record
  • useful_info
Now, check the files inside the working folder of "general" email account.

email folders

You can see that all emails and created folders are saved inside this working folder!
  • the "neomail-trash" file will be created automatically when you delete emails.
  • the "saved-messages" file will be created automatically when you use the email account.
  • the "sent-mail" file will be created automatically when you sent the first email.
  • When you created folders (signup_record, transfer_record, useful_info) in the email account, the files will be created.

Now check what happen to the "inbox" folder of "general" email account.

email inbox

Yes, this folder will also keep a inbox file with the same content! Therefore you may consider the "inbox" folder as a back-up of the inbox file.
