Where is my POP/IMAP mail stored?

This page is showing a generic answer. To see a more specific
answer, please type your e-mail address in the box below:

If you've chosen to deliver mail to a POP or IMAP mailbox, that mail is stored in Maildir format inside the "mailstore" directory in your home directory.

Advanced users can view the mail files using a shell connection, or retrieve the files for backup purposes using a tool like rsync (or even by FTP if you add an additional FTP account that has access to the mail directory).

What's the exact "path" for a mailbox?

To see the exact path for a given e-mail address, enter the address in the box at the top of this page.
