  1. Windows 10 mail app cannot make backups neither you have a easy way of exporting messages. MS also changes Mail app database from every W10 version and makes it incompatible so you lose all mail on every “upgrade” coming twice a year. I call it Fail app and see no reason why anybody would use it.
