Who owns emails?
- nobullet 13y agoDoesn't seem to work...
- ChuckMcM 13y agoHmmm, not as effective a call for action as you might want. In part because under US law email delivered to your corporate address is a company asset, not a personal asset. That said, there is a lot to be gained by having copies of your personal email (and metadata) handy. I am sure I am not unique in that I've got a script that uses imap to pull non-spam email into a temporally ordered store (a DVD-R :-) and a dynamically updated index (initially sqlite, now its more mysql). Still lose stuff of course :-).
- pirer 13y agoYour quite unique. Just making a script for some people is extremely difficult.

- pirer 13y agoyep but you still need to know a few things as well as: https://github.com/abjennings/gmail-backup https://github.com/abjennings/gmail-backup or http://www.fetchmail.info/ http://www.fetchmail.info/ and https://github.com/Flushot/gmail-backup https://github.com/Flushot/gmail-backup
- ams6110 13y agofetchmail for saving, notmuch for indexing/searching.
- blueblob 13y agoofflineimap ftw.
- engates 13y agothis looks very shady to me.
- tommis 13y agoIf I need to backup my emails, why wouldn't I use some dedicated solution I have control over? Example. http://www.mailstore.com/en/mailstore-home.aspx http://www.mailstore.com/en/mailstore-home.aspx
- jaeysin 13y agoI agree, this doesn't really fill me with great confidence. There is no information about where the data is stored.. is it encrypted? Is it a company? And I am simply registered to pay $10 to be put into a waiting list?
- gaadd33 13y agoI don't understand this. Is this something that you just blindly send your email to and then they save it for you? There's no indication of how you get access to it, or what is sent when you submit your email. Or really why you would use this over any of the commonly available email backup solutions.
- tuna 13y agopedro, you took the whole lean product stuff too serious. take a walk.
- pirer 13y agoIt's made on google app engine, there's no intention on being shady. That's why I use gumroad.com for payments. I would have made a kickstarter on this. But it isn't available where I live.
- radiusq 13y agoDid a 9 year old write up that page?
- suhastech 13y agoShameless Plug: I have built an Email Backup software for the Mac at http://thehorcrux.com/ http://thehorcrux.com/. I'm currently building a cloud version of it at http://www.backupfog.com/ http://www.backupfog.com/.
- bendoernberg 13y agoIt's not totally clear to me from the website what the service does, how it works, and what benefits it provides. Can you post a more detailed explanation?
- cstrat 13y agoFor the audience to provide constructive feedback you need to give us something to work with. On face value the idea seems solid enough but there is nothing for us to provide feedback on. The landing page looks decent, I am not a fan of the mock conversation with Snowden, I think it is tacky. I see what you are attempting to portray however I think you miss the mark. We need some more details rather than just telling us it runs on Google's App Engine.
