For sure. I believe I have this set to create an export and notify me the backup every quarter or so. Not the perfect solution, but until I do the right thing and switch over to fastmail, this at least ensures I can only lose a few months (gulp) worth of email.
- grepfru_it 4y agoHaving lost a few months of email when my mail server crashed, it’s something you whine about for a day or two but then it’s business as usual. As with all insurance you pay for what you want to risk. It didn’t hurt me much but I still went to daily offsite backups for my mailserver. The biggest gripe was standing up a new mailserver, make sure you keep your software up to date yall
- sneak 4y agoYou can move your old emails off of your current email provider at any time even without changing any email settings or where new mails go. It always seemed silly to me to have the server where your new mails get delivered be the same server as where your email archive lives.
- edmundsauto 4y agoThe part that keeps me up at night - the last few months are likely the majority of emails I care about. So I might recover 99% of past emails, but only get 25% of the value -- recency matters.
- hanklazard 4y agoYeah, I think this is a great point. My goal is to get my email on a domain I control in the next few months.
