The new release of our Gmail backup tools. It now reports every action it performs on the standard output. So you can see how much of your emails if currently saved in your local directory. It also displays percentage of the work that is done.
Sample output of the restore command of part of my Gmail account (real email addresses are mangled):
Restoring the content of account txxxxxxxxx_gmail.com into /home/honza/tmp/backup
Restored 0.1%: jxxxxx_kky.zcu.cz - Re: Help with finding a convenient hotel
Restored 0.2%: Txxxxxxxxxx_seznam.cz - SVP?
Restored 0.3%: mxxxxxxxxxxxx_cs.felk.cvut.cz - Server cs.felk.cvut.cz: Upozornění na účast v konferencích
Restored 0.3%: hxxxxx_kky.zcu.cz - Re: Jan.Svec 1
Hi Jan, I have a problem.
Hi Jan,
I have a problem. When I run the tool, I get:
D:\install\gmail-backup-0.04>gmail-backup.exe backup backup filip.xxx@gmail.com XXX_passwd
Starting backup of account filip.xxx@gmail.com into backup
Script GMailBackupScript: TypeError: argument must be 9-item sequence, not None
Thanks for help,
Filip Jurcicek
Hi Filip
It is hard to say what caused this problem. For reporting the errors it is useful to run the program with the
--debug
command line parameter and to include the full traceback into the error report. So are you able to rungmail-backup.exe
with this additional parameter and to paste the error traceback here?Thank you
Jan
Fixed
These problems are fixed in version 0.05 of Gmail Backup.
JS
Thanks
It is working now. Finally, I managed to backup my emails. Great!
re-download
If I backup then try to backup again to get new messages the programme downloads *all* the mail again and stores it as a copy (xx-2 etc) - is there a way to make it check to see if it's downloaded and only download new messages?

Hi, this feature is not currently supported but we plan to implement it in the feature release of this software.
We would like to implement something like
--incremental
option to download only emails not contained in the existing download directory.JS
