So… did you suffer from last week’s Gmail outage? Probably. Almost of all my Twitter friends were throwing their hands up over inaccessible emails. Personally, I didn’t experience a big melt down as I could access my email, which is on Google Apps. Only disruption is some bouncing emails.
What I’m most interested to ask you my friends is not about Gmail but your business setup. What about backing up your emails? Do you do it? No? Why not?
One of the easiest ways to backup a web mail is to use a desktop email client like Thunderbird, log in to download your emails. On Gmail or Google Apps, go to Settings >> Forwarding and POP/IMAP, enable POP, tell it to keep emails in your inbox. Then configure your email client.
