What is a .IBK file?
An .IBK file is a special kind of file used to keep a safe copy of everything in your IncrediMail email account. IncrediMail is a program that lets you send and receive emails with fun decorations and designs. Sometimes, you might want to make sure you don't lose your emails, contacts (people's email addresses you've saved), and other things like folders where you organize your emails. To do this, you can use another program called IncrediBackup. IncrediBackup helps you make a backup, which means it copies all the important stuff from your IncrediMail account and saves it into an .IBK file.
If you ever need to get your emails and contacts back, maybe because you're moving to a new computer or something went wrong, you can use IncrediBackup to open the .IBK file and restore everything back to how it was.
Here's how you can use IncrediBackup to work with .IBK files: - **To make a backup (.IBK file):** Open IncrediBackup, choose the option to "Backup Account," then pick the email account you want to save. After that, you'll click "Next" a couple of times to choose where you want to save the file on your computer, and then click "OK" to start the backup.
- **To restore from a backup (.IBK file):** Open IncrediBackup, select "Restore Account," and decide if you want to put everything back into its original account or if you'd prefer to put the emails into a new account (which is often recommended to avoid mixing up old and new emails). Click "Next," then "OK," find the .IBK file where you saved it, click "Open," and then "OK" again to get everything back.
So, if you're using IncrediMail and want to make sure you don't lose your emails and contacts, using IncrediBackup to create and use .IBK files is a smart way to keep everything safe.
