Just signed up for a trial of MessageBunker, great idea and can’t wait to start using it. Now I use Carbonite but it uses a lot of bandwidth on the data modem.

[...] The great thing about this is that on the second day we took part in a pitching competion organized by Mike Butcher fron Tech crunch – which we then won ! (http://uk.techcrunch.com/2008/10/13/techcrunch-pitch-fowa-the-runaround-version/) [...]

MessageBunker never, ever deletes your email and creates a ‘Time Machine’-style backup service for any accessible email account (Exchange/Gmail/IMAP/POP3). It provides disaster recovery and regulatory compliance for small businesses as well as an extra copy of every email for users who don’t necessarily want to share their emails with Google or do use Gmail and would like the security of a second copy of the data.

We were partially inspired by this: http://boingboing.net/2008/08/05/guy-gets-locked-out.html

Lovely! Do you have an option of using some Government provided Web Service for the calculations or you have to modify your algorithm on the run (in case that the State changes taxation often…)?

Why not use Gmail?

Good idea behind Trust Profile. How do you plan to monetize? Do you have an exit strategy?

Hi Mike,

I pitched MessageBunker. We are invite-only beta at the moment but would love to open up invitations to TechCrunch UK readers.

The pitch was great fun. Maybe an idea that could be expanded upon? It led to to some great discussions with like-minded people.
