Email and Gmail Plugin Enhancements

This update optimizes the email backup process, including dedicated plugins for Gmail, MS Exchange, Outlook, as well as a universal plugin supporting IMAP protocol backups. These improvements boost the speed and reliability of backups for the most widely used email platforms.

The Gmail backup plugin’s authorization procedure has also been improved. Previously, connection restrictions on Gmail’s side could cause issues, but now the updated plugin ensures smooth authorization, stable connections, and uninterrupted backup operations.

S3 Plugin Optimization

The S3 plugin now has an improved data transfer process: the checksum that ensures data integrity and protection during backup is generated taking into account the specific requirements of different cloud providers. This improves compatibility with popular services like Backblaze and Alibaba, ensuring stable and secure backups.
