 Backing up emails from Virgin webmail - tyrednemotional
..generally, if using web/browser access to mail, the mail content remains on the provider's server (until you delete an item, of course). That should allow you to re-synchronise at any time and get your content back

Patently it's not much use if you can't connect to the server at any given time. It also requires a level of trust in the isp's practices.

Use of an email client on your pc would (with an appropriate client) allow you to create and use a local copy of your email data, the storage file for which could be copied/archived at intervals and if/when necessary re-imported independent of any server issues.

Something I've done a few times using Outlook against ISP provided email servers, but I'm sure you could find a free client that would provide similar capabilities.
