Translations:E-mails archiveren: hoe en waarom?/34/en

Email clients, such as Microsoft Outlook or Apple Mail, use their own closed file format. This can mean that not all metadata is stored and emails become unreadable if the email client is no longer available. People are also increasingly using webmail services such as Gmail or Outlook (formerly Hotmail), so if these services stop functioning or start to require (high) costs, you risk losing all your emails.
