How can we improve Boxer for Android?

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.

    +1 for backup feature, including email accounts backup!!! ;-) Also . . . love the app!!!

    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.

    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.

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