Personalized Cloud Storage for E-Mails

Abstract


There has been a wide variety of cloud storage services for the file access and sharing, but it has been cost-effective. That makes it as less utile. People are not willing to use it. But as in our project the cloud storage services is offered for the web services such as Gmail and Yahoo! Even for uncharged accounts, this makes people to use it in the highly basis. As e-mail has become the powerful communication in our modern world. We have to provide the basic needs of giving the more security in preventing their mails from being destroyed. So we provide a backup storage or cloud storage for every individual account to access client own mails with our project. We are using the POP3 mail service to retrieve the mails. It is the more secured path to be accessed. A personal storage system leveraging online email service infrastructures would also benefit service providers as it extends their access to valuable customer data in terms of both volumes and variety. The major objective of the project is we have to connect to the mail server with the desired login information. As we are allowing the access for two mail services such as Yahoo and Gmail. The mails which have been accessed in our account can be retrieved in our My Mailbox using the Cloud storage services. As we are forming the personal cloud storage for every e-mail account. It makes easier to retrieve the relevant mails. As the mails are retrieved from our services, it can also be restored to our individual account. This makes it efficient for our web services. The main concern in our project is that, whenever the users or clients have deleted or lost their mails in the main server, it can be viewed here. And we also restrict the spam messages to the inbox. We will only retrieve the relevant mails which is present in the E-mail services with the help of the POP3 protocol.
