That's why I was wondering whether it was the software or whether it was the way it's being managed. If the people managing it don't do regular backups, that's a different matter. I haven't tested the backup possibilities yet, but so far I like what I've read. I don't particularly like the idea that Imail stores its account information in the registry, for example. (Death to the Microsoft registry concept!) But Imail seems to keep the information well organized, and there is a tool for backing it up, which is what's really important.
