Creating a Backup for Your Google Account
Creating a Backup for Your Google Account
This is really an interesting idea. I originally used POP exclusively until Google opened up IMAP. I thought about the lack of backup, but I figured that someone would talk about it eventually. Well, this is the official word. Use POP they say. Geez, like I didn’t already come around full circle. The old ways are best, I guess.
Why not offer a backup service for a measley $15/year? It doesn’t really cost them anything, gmail has already boosted its space, just add an extra 2GB and compress a backup once a week or month. What would be even cooler is a tab-delimited file of all your email that you can access through Google Apps with hyperlinks to attachments. THAT would rock.
