If IMAP only usage was considered inactive I’d have lost my gmail and hotmail accounts over a decade ago.
Startup idea: SaaS that you register you email addresses and periodically does an IMAP request to keep them active. Premium tier would provide actual archiving of your emails.
- spicybright 6y agoYuk. What use is a SaaS for archiving when it's just going to "sun set" in 6 months after the owners sell it to Google?
- bigiain 6y agoIf it wasn't for the "this service would need access to my email account creds and therefore to all my mail" showstopper... A distributed service where a group of people all have their own service to "ping" their personal "important accounts", and which accept federation with friends or other users of the service, so if your server/vps/serverless/whatever platform instance goes down your pings still happen from your connected servers. Elevator pitch: "Like IPFS, but for cron jobs calling curl."
