Where do you store important emails?
For many years I kept important emails in the cloud and nowhere else. A few years back I switched to a local storage as the primary storage, cloud as backup.
A recent hardware mishap meant I lost the local store. Disaster.
Rather than work on recovery, I'm leaning into it with a new mindset: emails are transient and anything important belongs in my notes.
