Not received Greenby information following email migration

[#1]

• All back ups are out of date sometime following the first change thereafter - you have no control over the changes brought about by inbound mail
• The words on delay I do not think are well written - that refers to a LOCAL IMAP client attaining full resync - there have been some cases where that resync has taken hours ... however email should be available immediately using the webmail interface, if it is that mission critical for you
• Deleted items "reappearing" is not an outcome giving rise to risk ... just a tiny amount of inconvenience

So in summary, Plusnet can't actually tell any customers when the migration will happen...?

That's why I ignored the advice in the FAQs and took backups as late as possible i.e. on the Sunday before our anticipated migration the next day, so that if I did need to revert to it for any reason I will have lost the minimum amount of (incoming) email.

If you are using an email client such as Thunderbird, one possible solution to the backup issue is to define a message filter that automatically copies incoming emails to local folders. It's not ideal, as it won't deal with any emails that might be "lost" before you collect them, but at least it keeps you up to date with minimum effort.

I use Thunderbird on Linux, but I assume that message filters are also available on Windows or Mac versions. Presumably there is also similar functionality with other sophisticated clients such as  Outlook?
