Dropmyemail is a cloud-based e-mail backup service owned by Dropmysite. [1] It allows users to automatically backup their e-mails with the ability to view, migrate or restore them via web browser. [2]
Dropmyemail was conceived by John Fearon. [3] The site was launched in March 2012 at Demo Asia, a conference for emerging technology, in Singapore. [4]
Dropmyemail's backend is written in Ruby on Rails and hosted on Amazon Web Services' Cloud Infrastructure. It supports e-mail platforms such as Gmail, Hotmail and Yahoo. It can also be used with other services via IMAP or POP settings. [5]
On November 21, 2012, [6] Dropmyemail introduced business plans [7] for SoHO and SMB based on per e-mail mailbox pricing. It also changed from a Freemium [8] business model to a 15-day Free Trial model. [9]
The company introduced an affiliate program [10] on December 13, 2012. This allows others to resell Dropmyemail's service. [11]
It supports almost all major email platforms like Gmail, Google App, Hotmail, Yahoo, AOL, etc. Still, you can use IMAP, POP settings if you can't find your email service provider in the list.
The development is brought by the heavy demand of various websites to resell Dropmyemail's services
