Account backup
I often switch from ROM to ROM and other devices. One of my favorite EE features was the ability to back up each account separately.

This is such a puzzling omission. No one can depend on an app that cannot be easily restored on the road if a device has an issue or other unforeseen problem. I would have no problem paying for such a feature to be included in the Boxer feature set. This should be a priority, IMO.

This is a basic critical function. I was surprised when this feature was dropped in the migration from EE to boxer. I cannot recommend this for enterprise adoption without this feature.

I use CloudBacko. It is a best tool for backup and very secure too. You can check this http://free.cloudbacko.com/?r=1d

Today I opened Boxer and it asked for my email address. I've using Boxer on this phone for ages with no issue. SO all my setting are lost for 3 accounts, some of this was hard to get when I set it up and I stupidly did not write the details down.
Now I'm unsure about spending time setting up al 3 accounts again when they can just be wiped for no reason :-(
We need a backup please!

Even Titanium backup is unable to recover mail accounts.
After recovery from Titanium, boxer shows for a short time the 'combined view' and then switches to a 'white screen' and then to the 'default screen' when you should add a mail account.
So why does it not work ?This is very disappointing that backup does not work :(

Even a local backup option would be great. I oftenly flash custom ROM and I have yet to find a way not to manually re-enter my 6 email accounts (each one as double-auth so it takes my 15 min every time)

For those of us who like to try custom firmwares (ROMs) having account information and settings backed up is a major convenience.

It's a must have functionality!
Missing it while reinstalling. -

We need this functionality. Your competitors have it, so it is possible. I'm sure it is not the proverbial walk in the park to adjust the code, but it would be a valuable, and appreciated addition.

yes, please add a way to backup/restore email accounts. titanium backup doesn't restore email accounts or emails on restore. Sigh.

I just installed Boxer a few days ago and haven't had a clean flash yet. Hopefully, TiBu will restore the Boxer settings.. We'll see.

Backup/restore will definitely be making it over as a feature from EE.

Please make sure to also keep backup to local storage. Many of us minimize our reliance on / exposure to the cloud.

I like this idea. Sync over dropbox, or any of the other cloud services you support!
