New feature: delayed email receipts

November 13, 2009 at 5:23 pm

Every time you back up files or email by sending data to vault@fwdvault.com, we email you a receipt confirming that we got it and stored it. This message also contains the Recover Codes — a unique one is assigned to every message and file — which you can use to have Fwd:Vault automatically email your stuff back to you.

Before today, these receipts were sent on a 1:1 basis, i.e. every email sent to us resulted in a confirmation being sent back to you. Today we’re happy to announce that you can now receive these notices in batches. Less mail to filter, and more information packed into a single message. Win-win!

If you log into your Vault, and go to the My Account page, you’ll find a new option under “Personal Info,” where you may now choose to have this storage confirmation info sent to you on a daily, weekly or monthly basis.

Email backup receipt options

Note that instant notifications are delivered to the address from which the message was sent, but the other options all go to your primary email address. “Instant” is still the default setting, so you’ll have to log in to change it.

Of course, we’d love to hear what you think, so drop a comment below or visit the contact page.
