The main thing I care about with a mail client is the exit strategy - if I don't like it, can I export all my mail losslessly to mbox or eml files? Does anyone

The main thing I care about with a mail client is the exit strategy - if I don't like it, can I export all my mail losslessly to mbox or eml files?
Does anyone know how it fares at this?
I use gmail now, though in the past I've used The Bat.
- StavrosK 13y agoIf your server has IMAP, you shouldn't need that.
- T-hawk 13y agoYou may also care about a server exit strategy. Your local storage format becomes relevant in the event you want to change email servers. (Maybe if, for example, your email server decides to stop supporting IMAP to get everybody to use the ad-serving web interface instead. Or your email server belongs to a large company suspected of leaking to the NSA.)
