GMail Backup 0.101

This is the fourth pre-final release of the GMail Backup tool - the ultimate one-click solution for doing backups of your GMail account. It seems that the strange error with UnicodeError was fixed. If you are interested, read the whole story - here, here and here. Two people helped us to discover and fix the problem so we thank them, thank you smap and Eric. It is recommended to upgrade.

This release can be also called the Rhodos edition because tomorrow I will leave to Greece and I will spend there 14 days. I am looking forward for your bug reports leaved in the forum or bellow this post. So be patient if we will not respond to your comments.

Linux note: Under Linux you will need the wxPython (http://wxpython.org) packages installed. It also requires the ctypes module, it should be included in the Python 2.5 distribution. For earlier versions of Python you can find the package in the repositories of your distribution.

Thank your for testing and bug reporting
