Readit NewsIt certainly does not get around the ...if your account gets banned maybe the forwards will still work... concept but in general something like https://github.com/joeyates/imap-backup to backup your email and then add them to a typical backup process with your other files works well.
We launched here on HN 5 years ago[1] and today power SSO for OpenAI, Cursor, Vercel, and a thousand other apps. We also found the initial configuration step to be painful for users, so we built a self-serve wizard that enables enterprise admins to fix issues.[2]
It's still crazy how much complexity there is with enterprise identity systems and managing the user lifecycle for big orgs. It's like the whole thing is made of weird edge cases and even moreso when you add SCIM, RBAC, MFA, etc etc.

We also index competitors' helpdesks and KB articles to track new features they're rolling out. Our tech support team uses it daily because Freshdesk's AI is terrible and their internal KB search is lackluster. Onyx actually finds things. The value isn't in being "one chat to rule them all" — it's in unified search across disparate systems with citations. That's not getting commoditized anytime soon. Keep up the good work, team.
