Especially since most emails worldwide aren’t decentralized since they rely on centralized webmails. As in, Google and fastmail could decide to swipe you and all proofs you’ve ever saved in your emails from the history. Thunderbird is the last way to download emails (...at least in an open format).
- wutbrodo 9y ago> Thunderbird is the last way to download emails Google Takeout supports one-click exporting of emails to an open format; you just need to make sure to actually do it if you're interested.
- graton 9y agoYou can archive your email by using something like this: https://github.com/gaubert/gmvault https://github.com/gaubert/gmvault
- imglorp 9y agoFetchmail? https://gitlab.com/fetchmail/fetchmail https://gitlab.com/fetchmail/fetchmail
- talideon 9y agoIf you're looking for something like fetchmail, I find fdm to be superior in just about every way: https://github.com/nicm/fdm https://github.com/nicm/fdm
- pyre 9y agoBoth Google and fastmail support IMAP (and IIRC POPv3). There are a great _many_ clients (and backup scripts) that support these protocols. In light of this, how is Thunderbird the last way to download emails?
