<p>I&rsquo;ve used gmail since the beta launched touting a whopping 1GB of storage. I thought this was a massive leap in email technology at the time. I was lucky enough to get an invite fairly quickly. Not suprisingly, I have many years of emails, attachments, and photos. I certainly do not want to lose the content of many of these emails. Despite the redundancy of the data that Google secures, I still feel better retaining a copy of this data on my own physical machines.</p>
<p>The thought of completely de-googling has crossed my mind on occassion. The convenience coupled with my admiration of their engineering has prevented me from doing so thus far. Though, I may end up doing so at some point in the future.</p>

<p>Synology products are reasonably priced for what you get (essentially a cloud-in-a-box) and there is very little maintenace required. I&rsquo;ve recently been in interested in constantly syncing and snapshotting my personal data. I&rsquo;ve setup <a href=https://www.synology.com/en-ca/dsm/feature/cloud_sync>Synology&rsquo;s Cloud Sync</a> and keep copies of most of my cloud data.</p>

<p>I&rsquo;ve used tools such as <a href=http://www.gmvault.org>gmvault</a> with success in the past. Setting this up on a cron seems like a viable option as well. However, I don&rsquo;t really need a lot of the features it offers and do not plan to restore this data to another account.</p>
<p>Synology&rsquo;s MailPlus seems to be a good candidate for backing up this data. By enabling POP3 fetching, it&rsquo;s possible to both retroactively and continually fetch these emails. If a disaster ever did occur, having these emails could be a life saver.</p>
<p>Installing MailPlus can be done from the Package Center:</p>
