My department is being forced by the university administrative IT unit
to MS Office365 distributed server ("cloud") email service, as I have
communicated in a previous query. We are now being advised by others
who have been forced to do this -- but of course not by IT -- to backup
all of our email. I use Mozilla Thunderbird, incoming IMAP, outgoing to
a designated SMTP server. I have found
http://www.beyondinbox.com/beyondinbox-download.html
licensed for fee that claims to function under Linux, MacOS X, and MS
Windows for this purpose. There are concerns to find a viable
licensed-for-free product that will copy IMAP folders and all of the
contents thereof to a local harddrive directory/file structure and that
can restore these same IMAP folders and the contents thereof back to a
remote IMAP service -- thus guarding against loss -- up to the last
backup snapshot -- of all email.
Has anyone any experience with the above application? is there a
licensed for free reliable, viable alternative, GUI preferred, for Linux?
