The people here who use the likes of Mutt and Alpine are also rather comfortable with IMAP backups obviously.
For a more gmail focused crowd there is the excellent Gmvault to consider:
http://gmvault.org/ http://gmvault.org/
I'm not sure who are the people who can't use the above solutions and yet understand what IMAP is and that backups are desirable AND be willing to spend $15 for a Mac App Store app. Food for thought.
- suhastech 14y agoAgreed. Maybe I could A/B test a landing page without "IMAP" (just Gmail and service names?) Currently, looking at the support requests, people who buy it are not quite tech savvy but want to backup their emails from corporate IMAP accounts. Plus, I think the technical barrier is still quite low (select gmail/yahoo, you're done).
- yanokwa 14y agoI tried gmvault and found it lacking. I switched to CloudPull ($10) from http://goldenhillsoftware.com http://goldenhillsoftware.com and it's by far the best Google backup tool I've found. It supports Gmail, Google Contacts, Google Calendar, Google Drive/Docs, and Google Reader. The app backs up a max of 10 accounts in the background and all the data is available in standard file formats.
- thibaut_barrere 14y agoThank you for mentioning this; I just bought it, it seems to work wonderfully, and I like that they save the data in standard formats.
