Have you tried fetchmail? It is very similar in nature but should work to pull all of your e-mail from a remote IMAP/POP server.<br>
<br>
Also, you can also look at writing an application in python to use the API to pull down all of the e-mail without using IMAP/POP. That method will also allow you to backup everything including Docs, Calendar, etc...<br>

Hi all ... I have started to investigate different tools for creating<br>
a full backup of a Gmail account.<br>
<br>
Requirements include the ability to run in the console and be setup as<br>
a cron job on my home server. Also I want to synch in only *one*<br>
direction - Gmail->LocalFolder - (I don't want to misconfigure<br>
something and end up corrupting or wiping out my Gmail archive). This<br>
is strictly a backup that is stored locally and can be browsed in<br>
read-only mode. I plan to keep using the Gmail web interface.<br>
<br>
I configured my Gmail account for IMAP access and tried getmail -<br>
<a href="http://pyropus.ca/software/getmail/configuration.html" target="_blank">http://pyropus.ca/software/<u></u>getmail/configuration.html</a> - and after<br>
running it for the first time appears to do what I want with one<br>
exception: after all messages are downloaded to my local server they<br>
are all marked in my Gmail account as having been read. This is what<br>
the program's developer intended and has no plans to change -<br>
<a href="http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.mail.getmail.user/4081" target="_blank">http://comments.gmane.org/<u></u>gmane.mail.getmail.user/4081</a> ... Considering<br>
the way I handle my mail this is not a big deal to me but it would be<br>
a dealbreaker for a few other people I would help backup their own<br>
Gmail accounts.<br>
<br>
OfflineIMAP is another consideration ... but by default it appears to<br>
sync folders in both directions. Maybe that can be changed.<br>
<br>
I am curious ... Do other list members backup their Gmail accounts and<br>
what tools do you like to use?<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
