Well, it's not simple to save from the GUI, but I've been running Peagsus mail for over 10 years, including numerous upgrades, and I have never lost a single email.

I do save my mail by simply copying the maildir to another drive every few days. Which is nice when windows does a fatal dive, which it has 3 or 4 times during that period.

It is also really easy to move to another box, since there are NO registry entries. Just copy the directory to the new machine, install the exe file, and set the directory in the config, and everything works again.
