Always a devil to get this sort of thing right. Fridays are normally a
Bad Idea; Thursdays sometimes also for some people. Maybe rotate the day
of the week each month (Monday-Friday) so the 3rd Thursday of the month
next month, 3rd Friday of June &c. That would please all of the people
all of the time...

It's not ideal, but it's infinitely better than what 99% of normal users
have, e.g. no backup regime at all. If I never have to explain to
someone that they lost all their emails because of a hard disk failure /
that they should use IMAP / have backups it'll be a good thing.
Looks like there's a gap that needs filling: open automated offsite
backups. I'll add that to my
things-that-would-be-great-to-do-but-I-never-will list.
