You can backup Hotmail emails to Hard Drive either manually or through the professional method. For manual backup, you can use an email client such as Outlook. Set up your Hotmail account utilizing IMAP/POP settings, then save emails to a local PST or EML file on your hard drive for offline storage and viewing.
But this process is not without limitations. It's time-consuming, non-automated, and can lose attachments or folder hierarchies upon export.
