There Are Many Ways You Can Lose Your Email Messages
-
Hacked!
Your system is hacked and you're not only locked out of your email account but you might never have access to your messages again.
-
Accidental Deletion
It's easy to make a mistake and delete multiple emails and folders. Worse, you might not realize it until days or weeks later.
-
Provider Lockout
It's easy to be blindsided by the large email providers such as Google and Microsoft. They can easily lock you out for any number of opaque and random reasons.
-
Provider Mistake
Everyone makes mistakes. It's very possible for your email service provider to accidentally delete a mailbox, lose a server or have a bad backup.
-
Accidental Failure To Renew
If your account is up for renewal and you forgot to renew or your credit card is expired (and provider notifications end up in Spam) you can lose your entire mailbox.
Your Backup Options
Manual Backups
You can manually backup your emails using a desktop client such as Microsoft Outlook or other export tool.
But will you remember to do it every day or every week?
And will those email backups live on your primary computing device? If so, it is at risk of being deleted or locked by ransomware anyway.

We'll backup your emails periodically and store them securely on our servers - far far away from your primary computing devices.
Emails can be backed up daily, weekly or monthly.
We can backup any email account that is accessible over the internet via the widely used IMAP protocol.
Did You Know?
-
Many Email Providers Cannot Restore Individual Mailboxes
Many email service providers backup entire server / server images. Which means they cannot restore individual components on their servers such as a single mailbox.
-
Some Smaller Providers Do Not Send Backups Offsite
We know of at least one very popular email service that places their backup tapes/disks just a few feet away from their servers. Which means if an OVH type fire occurs, all your email data is toast.
-
No Email Provider Has A Transparent Backup Policy
Ask any of your email providers how their backups and restore work. Then ask them to put it in writing. You'll be surprised at how little they'll commit to securing your messages from disaster.
If you do not have a backup copy of your emails you're far more at risk of losing them than you might think!
