1) I alrady have a hard time trusting Google/Microsoft/etc with my email let alone another third party.

2) For local backups, IMAP/POP works relatively well already.

I don't see how this would work as a standalone product. Maybe if it was a feature in something like Fastmail or a full-fledged office suite, it would be more appealing.

Thanks a ton for your feedback. I understand that IMAP works fine for local backups. But doesnt that add another task to save the local email backup safely somewhere ? Would you have used this service, if i was providing an option to save it directly to dropbox ?

Also would you like a desktop app (windows/mac app) , which automatically saves the backup to your dropbox safely. That way your emails never get stored in any thirdpay servers, but only your local and the drobox!

Thanks once again for the service.

I like the idea of a desktop app. Or even a self-hosted server-side app.

I wish you all the best in this endeavor and thanks for sharing.
