I actually want to find someway to backup my Gmail account, since my life depends on it.]]>Oct 11th 2009 8:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/10/t-mobile-we-probably-lost-all-your-Sidekick-data/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/10/t-mobile-we-probably-lost-all-your-Sidekick-data/
@rshid You have multiple ways to back it up. You can use a pop mail client and download all mail to it like ScottJ does. Just set the option in your pop client to leave mail on the server. Another option is to use gears for gmail. This puts a fully working copy of gmail on your computer that you can use even when there is no network connectivity.

The problem isn't the cloud. The problem is lack of backups. The problem with Sidekick is that they specifically made it so data could not be backed up, and then failed to use even ordinary care while doing an upgrade. ]]>Oct 12th 2009 10:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/10/t-mobile-we-probably-lost-all-your-Sidekick-data/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/10/t-mobile-we-probably-lost-all-your-Sidekick-data/
Same here. So, although I use gmail via imap in browsers on my several machines 99.9% of the time, here's what I do:

o I have a separate POP email account set up.

o Its server is set to forward all emails to my gmail account. I do most of my correspondence in gmail, in my browser. It bcc's emails I send to the aforementioned account.

o Thunderbird is installed on my Mac, and every few days I run it. It pops the emails off the server for my main email account, giving me local copies of everything.

So, gmail can fail but I'd still have my backups.]]>Oct 11th 2009 10:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/10/t-mobile-we-probably-lost-all-your-Sidekick-data/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/10/t-mobile-we-probably-lost-all-your-Sidekick-data/Oct 12th 2009 4:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/10/t-mobile-we-probably-lost-all-your-Sidekick-data/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/10/t-mobile-we-probably-lost-all-your-Sidekick-data/Oct 12th 2009 5:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/10/t-mobile-we-probably-lost-all-your-Sidekick-data/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/10/t-mobile-we-probably-lost-all-your-Sidekick-data/Oct 15th 2009 1:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/10/t-mobile-we-probably-lost-all-your-Sidekick-data/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/10/t-mobile-we-probably-lost-all-your-Sidekick-data/
Microsoft and T-Mobile get an F in Data Processing 101.

Make backups and verify them.

And users should always have the ability to make/verify local backups.
One copy on a remote server is hardly sensible.]]>Oct 13th 2009 7:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/10/t-mobile-we-probably-lost-all-your-Sidekick-data/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/10/t-mobile-we-probably-lost-all-your-Sidekick-data/Oct 15th 2009 5:49PM
