Backup and portability considerations
Regularly exporting contacts provides an extra layer of protection and simplifies migration between mail services. For accounts with larger mail data sets or frequent migrations, infrastructure such as Cloud-Server can offer greater flexibility. Enhanced mail management and filtering solutions like SpamExperts can also be used alongside Roundcube to improve overall email handling.
