I am less excited about this tip than everyone else is, obviously. For starters, this doesn't remove the need to do backups of your Mac. So you might as well get into good backup habits and use them for everything. And, as noticed above, it doesn't do anything about your sent email -- which, if I had to choose, would be first thing to back up ahead of incoming mail. IMHO a better solution is to redirect your email addresses to your Gmail account first, and use Mail to pick it up from there using POP. This gives you a Gmail archive of everything you receive. Also be sure to use Gmail's SMTP servers for sending mail, and get an archive copy of everything you send. Bingo, best of both worlds. Local and remote copies of everything you send and receive. » POSTED IN:
