Mailstore Home I have been a Go-to email backup solution for over a decade. It is easy for home users to use free solutions, it includes search functionality in all stored emails, and more.
VendersplankiWhich looks like a small town somewhere in northern Europe, is an email backup solution. It has been developed by the founders of Melstore, who sold Melstore to Carbonate.
key features:
- Backup all IMAP email accounts (remarkable exceptions Microsoft Outlook, but it is planned).
- Archive EML or MSG email.
- Support to store email archives in one or several places.
- End-to-end encryption and zero-knowledge architecture.
- Integrated search to find stored email quickly.
- Document backup also supported.
Cross-platform and free to use
Software is available for Windows, Linux and Mac Systems. The base version, called Basic, is free to use. Unlike Melstore Homes, which limits free use to home users, it is also free for organizations.
Users can collect up to five email accounts using free version and are limited to save the archives in the cloud.
Warning word: The main negative, at least at this time, is that the application seems available only in German. I did not get the option to change the interface language; There is no such option in the program settings.
You need a license and for this, it is necessary to provide a valid email address to the manufacturers. The address is verified and the free license code is then sent to the address.
The interface looks very clean and modern. You are asked to display and save the recovery key, which is the only option to reach the email collection, you should lose the password that you also need to provide.
Once he gets out of the way, you can start using the solution. First, you may want to set archive storage. You can choose any place on local systems, network shares, external hard drives, optical storage or cloud storage.
The next thing you do is a collection. Free users get just one while customers get up to five. It is relatively simple to store an email address. Once you choose a collection, you simply choose an email collection option from its page.
You are asked to type email address and provide information about mail server and account password.
Vanderplanki handles the rest from that moment. It uses end-to-end encryption to protect email in transit and comfort. Even the manufacturers of the service cannot thank the email for their zero trust architecture.
The program also includes options to backup documents. All stored files, emails or documents can be exported at any time. Developers have created an open source reader that can read independently stored files of the Vanderplangi application.
Closing word
Vanderpanki is a promising email backup solution. It is based on a zero-trust architecture and uses end-to-end encryption for files in transit and comfort. It lacks some characteristics, especially Microsoft Outlook Support, Scheduled Backup or Support for non-German languages, but it is likely to come in the future.
If developers introduce missing features, the vendorplanki email collection location may have a bright future.
