Where Does Hushmail Store Mail and Data?
Hushmail mail lives encrypted on Hushmail servers with local copies only in whatever mail client you use.
Last updated
Hushmail is a mailbox provider, not an app with local files. Mail lives encrypted on Hushmail servers, and your devices hold whatever your mail client caches.
That split decides the backup story. The portable copies are IMAP syncs and manual exports from a desktop client, not anything on the phone. Migrate clients freely; the server folders rebuild everywhere. Anything kept only in one client's local folders needs exporting first.
Where Hushmail stores this, by platform
Hushmail servers (mail); mail-client cache locally
Server-side encrypted mail. Phones hold client cache only. Migrate clients freely; export local-only folders first.
Hushmail servers (mail); mail-client cache locally
Same server-first design. Desktop clients cache offline copies that rebuild on login. Export local folders before abandoning a client.
Frequently asked questions
Do my emails survive switching mail apps?
The server copy remains the master. Reconnect any client and folders rebuild; only client-local drafts and unsynced outbox mail can lag behind.
