Message from Runbox regarding the global health situation

In situations such as the one we are currently experiencing with COVID-19, uncertainty spreads easily and one may wonder whether services we rely upon will continue to function as usual. We are aware that our email service is of great importance to our customers, and that many rely upon Runbox in their professional and personal lives.

We can assure you that our operations will continue to function normally.

Runbox is located in Norway, a country with robust and reliable Internet services, and the Norwegian government and telecommunication operators are on the alert to ensure that Internet services are running as normal.

In our organization telecommuting is the modus operandi, and we are used to working from home offices or remote locations. For the immediate future the use of our headquarters is suspended in accordance with the advisory from our health authorities, but this will not have any impact on our day-to-day operations.

These are also the regulations our partners in Norway adhere to, and our affiliates abroad will naturally follow the advice in their respective countries. The data center where our servers are located will be enforcing stricter access procedures, but will otherwise operate normally.

This means that maintenance, support, development, and other internal functions will continue to work as usual. Our services are running on our own infrastructure, and there are no indications that our service will be exposed to any consequences of the current situation.

Our mission is to provide electronic communication between people, which is more important than ever in these times. We will continue fulfilling this obligation with dedication and determination.

  1. Thank you for the reassurance, although it can’t be total. Is there a way that I can save (backup) all my email files?

    1. Yes, you can easily back up all the email stored in your account on our servers by synchronizing it with your computer or other device using IMAP.

      Please see this Help article for more information on how to do that:
