Email
is one of the most used communication channel for several businesses and
individuals. What would do you do if you do not have access to email? Email
outages do occur and at times when you shift to new system or change location
you can miss out on some crucial data. There
are various cloud and web services which is also inclusive of email backup.
DropMyEmail is an automatic Email backup service. Just login with Twitter, Facebook, Google account to start and
within seconds backup would start. It would work with several email accounts
and after first backup it would keep the backup in sync. Just enter email ID

organized. It has secured SSL encryption which would encrypt emails prior to
