A folder emptied by mistake, or a sync that deletes instead of copying. The server’s trash keeps messages for 30 days at most.

Your provider keeps your email online. It does not keep a separate copy. istorel does.
Three common ways to lose some or all of a mailbox:
Someone gets hold of the password and empties the mailbox, or ransomware hits the computer that syncs it.
When you leave a provider, the mailbox is deleted when the contract ends. With your own backup, you keep your email.
How it works
Three steps to do once. After that, backups run on their own.
01
Connect your mailboxHost, port, login. The first backup starts within a minute and checks the connection.
02
Set the scheduleChoose the frequency and how long to keep backups.
03
Browse and restoreBrowse the folders, search, open an email and download it as .eml.
Works with your email provider
istorel uses IMAP, the standard email protocol. No provider-specific integration, nothing to install. These are the providers we see most often, and any other IMAP server works the same way.

Check your mailbox
Type your email or domain. We'll tell you the IMAP settings to use.
We read the domain's MX records live. Try icloud.com, ovh.net, gmail.com, or a domain of your own.
Find one email without restoring the whole mailbox
Every backup stays browsable. Search the folders, open the email and download it as an .eml file, which opens in Apple Mail, Thunderbird, Outlook or any other email app.

Stored in France, across three zones
Transfers are encrypted with TLS. Backups are stored in France by default (other regions on request) and copied to three independent availability zones, so losing a whole datacentre loses no data. Your mail credentials are encrypted with a key that never leaves our environment.
GDPR, and a French company
istorel is run from France under the GDPR, and a data processing agreement is available on request. We sell no data, and no third-party analytics tool has access to your backups.
