Next release of our popular software. This version should be called "You must try", because we have fixed many bugs in the software, for example backup of emails with missing items in the header or problems on MS Windows due to the bad implementation of socket methods in Python (problems with imaplib and large emails, larger than around 2MB).

This release has also the port to the Linux operating system, so if you are Linux user you can try it to backup your emails. This software is developed under Linux, so there should be no problems with it. The usage is the same as in the Windows version, simple read our documentation and use gmail-backup.sh instead of gmail-backup.exe.

Note: Don't panic if you see that your gmail-backup-0.05-linux.zip file is much smaller than the Windows version. It is because the Windows version has packed all the Python runtime, so it has approximately 2.2MB, but the Linux version uses the Python (version 2.5) installed in your system. Therefore it has about only 11kB.

Update: To use the Linux version, you must also download the svc.zip file and extract its content into the directory, where you have placed the gmail-backup.sh script. This archive contains our own library of routines and usefull classes.
