Well this is what just a normal email client does - it downloads latest emails via IMAP.
- encryptluks2 5y agoisync (aka mbsync) works great for this.
- Kye 5y agoI also have my client make a copy in local folders, and then Backblaze scoops both up. It's a little redundant, but it's not that much space use and it gives me something to compare if I ever have reason to worry an email was tampered with on the server and downloaded over the original. More concern toward a hack than government/host meddling.
- willis936 5y agoWhat if I don't want an email client? I just want a headless program that downloads my emails. They can be kept on a NAS that is backed up offsite and keeps the emails searchable. I want this to happen even if I don't happen to open an email client on a desktop at my home for months. That's why imap-backup is useful.
