Email Backup

Never Lose an Email Again

Automatically back up your POP3 and IMAP accounts to Gmail. Messages are encrypted in transit with XChaCha20-Poly1305 and stored securely in your Gmail account.

Why Backup

Email Loss Is Permanent

Without a backup strategy, a single incident can erase years of correspondence.

Server Failure

Hardware crashes, data centre outages, and hosting provider failures can destroy mailbox data without warning.

Account Termination

Provider changes, expired hosting plans, or policy violations can result in permanent account closure.

Data Loss

Accidental deletion, compromised accounts, or ransomware can wipe your mailbox contents.

How It Works

Automated, Encrypted Backup

Clacks polls your accounts and imports messages to Gmail with strong encryption.

Automatic Polling

Cronicle-based scheduling checks your POP3 and IMAP accounts at configurable intervals, defaulting to every 5 minutes.

Encrypted Transit

Credentials and message data are protected with XChaCha20-Poly1305 encryption using an envelope KEK/DEK key scheme.

Stored in Gmail

Messages are imported via the Gmail API with OAuth 2.0 and labelled by source for easy identification.

Benefits
