Nice one - you reminded me to restart my Thunderbird backup of GMail. I've got it setup to use imap to connect to GMail (a couple of different accounts as it happens) so it's got a copy of all my emails and keeps itself up to date efficiently. As a bonus, it's far more capable at deleting old messages if I need to clear some space to keep under Google's limit.
- racked 3y agoTry running 'getmail' with a daily cron job. It's an old piece of software, and (at least for me) required an initial `for` loop to catch up with old mail, but it's the best low-maintenance way to backup Gmail AFAIK. Deleting old mail is another story though.
