FAQ

The speed at which an extract is completed, is entirely dependent on the amount of users submitting requests and is handled on a first come first serve basis. Subscription users are eligible for priority within the queue. In the unlikely event that you have not yet received your email two hours after requesting it, and it is not in your spam folder, please check the status page. If the status page does not resolve this for you, please email us at help@minemymail.com so that we can investigate what happened.

The zip file that you receive will be encrypted and password protected for your security. The password used is the same one that you use to login to your email with.

The zip file is encrypted to protect your information. Unfortunatley the Mac Archive utility does not support encryption. You can open the file with the Zipeg or WinZip for Mac.

Google likes to block accounts from logging in via IMAP when it suspects something is potentially a security risk. An example might be that you recently logged in from a physical location very differen then where our servers are at. To solve this you have to prove to Google that you're still in control of your account. There are two ways to do this:

1. You can go to https://accounts.google.com/DisplayUnlockCaptcha which will unlock your account for 10 minutes.
2. You can setup 2-factor authentication and generate an application sepcific password. http://support.google.com/accounts/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=185833

We respect your privacy and the privacy of your contacts. While we do temporarily host your data in order to provide it to you, we purge it as soon as possible. Your data is never given or sold to third parties.

The process of extracting your emails is very system resource intensive. In order for the system to support a large number of users it has to be setup in a queue based fashion, which requires temporary storage of your password. When you request to have the emails in your account extracted, the system will temporarily store your password. Once the extraction is complete, your password is permanently removed from the system. For extra security we do support application specific passwords if your provider allows it. Many email providers allow you to enable 2-factor authentication in your account settings, essentially creating a password just for use with this site. This allows you to revoke access later without changing your password and ensures your information is secure. We do retain your email address so that we can contact you with Mine My Mail updates.

We don’t yet support Hotmail, but are working on providing it for future updates. Our service relies on IMAP access to you inbox, something that Hotmail doesn’t currently offer. We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.

If we don’t support your email provider with our service, please email help@minemymail.com and we can look in to adding it.

At this time, PayPal is the only option that we have available to our customers.
