Another good one is http://gmvault.org http://gmvault.org. I used this just recently to backup and transfer all of my Google Apps emails to a separate gmail account since I'm transferring my apps domain to a different provider. Going just off of what the article says about BaGoMa, Gmvault seems to be comparable in features.
- waffle_ss 14y agoFrom a quick glance Gmvault looks preferable from a security standpoint as your credentials get saved in ~/.gmvault rather than being passed as a command-line argument, which could be viewed by any user on the system.

- manveru 14y agoBeen trying to get gmvault to do at least one successful run since it showed up on HN maybe a week or so ago. It always stops somewhere at mails from 2008 with no error message, just dies. Guess I'll wait until it's a bit more mature. I only have 6GB of mails too.
- zoobert 14y agoGmvault can fail for multiple reasons, for example Gmail can cut the connection and throttle you for a while. There are also bugs left or GMail emails that cannot be downloaded (email corruption ?). For this reason, there is a --restart option for the sync and restore mode (sync being the backup). The restart mode is a resume mode that will restart the backup or restore near from where it failed. With that mode you should be able to download your 6 GB on disk.
