Dropmyemail is a cloud-based e-mail backup service owned by Dropmysite. It allows users to automatically backup their e-mails with the ability to view, migrate or restore them via web browser.

Overview

Dropmyemail was conceived by John Fearon. The site was launched in March 2012 at Demo Asia, a conference for emerging technology, in Singapore.

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, and it can also be used with other services via IMAP or POP settings.

Business model

On November 21, 2012, Dropmyemail introduced business plans for SoHO and SMB based on per e-mail mailbox pricing. It also changed from a Freemium business model to a 15-day Free Trial model.

The company introduced an affiliate program on December 13, 2012. This allows others to resell Dropmyemail's service.
