I was starting to get intrigued reading the article, but inability to import old mail (and inability to export backups via IMAP) I'd a definite deal breaker for me.
- msh 6y agoBut you can export in mbox format.
- marcolussetti 6y agoHadn't realized that, admittedly I kinda stopped reading after the no IMAP, no import. Thank you for correcting me. I'm still struggling to understand the decision making here though: this is a premium product pricing itself above the various GSuite/Exchange/Online/Fastmail, and demanding a significant time investment from users (for the whitelisting). There is of course nothing wrong with that, and I really like the idea of a premium, well crafted email system. However, the lack of archive import (and of sync'ing to alternate email addresses it seems?) seems puzzling here. I'm not sure that the Venn diagram intersection of people who really care about email but do not require import of their current archives is a large enough market to go after. I have a small-ish archive (15 years) and any service that wasn't able to work with is a nonstarter for me. I imagine while not the most common situation, we are talking about premium email here...
