<p><tt>Use Fetchmail on the link between your provider and your
email server. Schedule a fetch every 5 minutes or so.. This
makes for a very flexible and resilient system.</tt><br>

<div>My mailboxes are on a Dovecot (IMAP) server.</div>
<div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">On DNS there is an MX

<div>To read the mail I use Roundcube.</div>
<div>If the server is down, I lose the new mail.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I would like to do two things, alternatively.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>First option.</div>
<div>1) I keeep the mail on the provider's server, restoring
the original MX record.</div>
<div>2) Dovecot does not receive the mail, but should go to
download it.</div>
<div>3) I can access the server with Roundcube to read the
downloaded mail, but if the server is down I can always go
to read the mail on the provider's server with its webmail</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Second option</div>
<div>I install a second mail server and the two have to
replicate the mail.</div>
<div>But I don't know how to do it, so I need a guide with
instructions.</div>
<div>Furthermore Roundcube would always access only one
server and if this is down, how can I connect to the
second one?</div>
<div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">This is a typical
situation for webmail like Yahoo, Outlook or GMail, but
I'm not Yahoo, Microsoft and Google ;)<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance for any advice.<br>
