Every plan backs up your mail in full. We limit features, never the size of your backup.

Microsoft Graph is coming soon; the Gmail API, with your own Google Cloud project, is under study.
If a subscription lapses or you move down a level, the backups you already have stay searchable and restorable. Only accounts over the limit pause, and you choose which ones keep going.
Accounts imported from .mbox files have no connection, so they don't count towards your limit.
Purchases and subscriptions will go through the Mac App Store, so Apple handles billing, tax, level changes and refunds. On Windows, the Microsoft Store will. Arca never processes payments itself.
Coming soon
Arca Mail Backup is nearly ready. It's coming to the Mac App Store first (macOS 14 or later) and to the Microsoft Store after that. Leave your email and we'll write once, on launch day.
