Where Does Aqua Mail Store Data and Backups?
Aqua Mail keeps its message database and account XML in private storage on Android, with official backup through Settings rather than file copies.
Last updated
Aqua Mail is mobile-only, so forget desktop folders. On Android the live data sits in private storage: a Messages database plus account XML that need root to browse. The package name is org.kman.AquaMail for anyone scripting around it.
The supported backup never touches those files. In-app Backup and restore writes a portable file to a folder you pick, covering accounts and settings with optional mail. iOS keeps the same model inside its sandbox with no documented file list. Share out attachments per file since no fixed export folder exists.
Where Aqua Mail stores this, by platform
/data/data/org.kman.AquaMail/databases
Live message database with account XML in private storage needing root. Exact database names date from older reports and may vary by version. Use the in-app backup feature instead of copying these files.
/var/mobile/Containers/Data/Application/<guid>/Documents
Sandboxed container for the iOS build with no documented internal file list. Backup and restore run through the app UI. Reinstalling empties the container while server mail resyncs.
Frequently asked questions
How do I back up Aqua Mail properly?
Use Settings, Backup and restore, Back Up Now inside the app with an optional password. It covers accounts plus settings by default, with emails optional and bulky for IMAP. Restore from device storage, Drive, OneDrive or Dropbox rather than copying database files.
Where is my Aqua Mail backup file?
Look in the folder you picked at backup time, historically sdcard/backup/AquaMail unless changed. The exact external path varies by device and Android version since the picker decides it. In-app restore finds the file without you typing any path.
Where is Aqua Mail data on Windows?
There is none. Aqua Mail is Android and iOS only with no desktop client, so no AppData or Application Support path exists. Saved attachments leave through share sheets into gallery, Drive or Downloads folders you choose per file.
