This is a great idea, I just set it up on a spare box using Matt Cutts' instructions for getmail and POP3. http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/backup-gmail-in-linux-with-getmail/ http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/backup-gmail-in-linux-with-get... If anybody else tries this, I'd recommend sticking with POP3 as getmail's IMAP client seems to mark all your messages as read (not cool).
