If you care about your mail, you should be doing some kind of personal backup with any service like this. I just fire up Thunderbird, like the author, but I'm sure there must be a lot of scripts and programs out there to do local gmail backup.
- mknod 15y agoI use getmail on linux. All it really does is backup the mail in mbox format, but it'll be really handy one day I'm sure. This person's tale should be a warning to those who have not done a backup recently. Harddrives have never been cheaper in terms of price per byte. It only takes a couple of steps to set it up so that it's done automatically.
