It looks like working now. I tried other solutions before, like Thunderbird or other POP clients, but I always go errors at some point. On the contrary, this seems to work. Good job!

Why not to add support for marking deleted emails, e.g. by moving them into a "deleted" directory?
Supposing a use case in which backupped emails could be browsed, another useful and very easy to make tool for gmail backup could be a simple html doc creator for one short report of all .eml files: id-subject mapping, attachments names, etc.

Thanks for this latest release! I have some non-ASCII (Unicode) labels, which always resulted in an error message during the label backup. I just installed this release and ran a new backup, and can confirm that (at least for me!) the error message is finally gone. THANK YOU!! That was the only glitch, and now it's gone. I'm loving this tool...

Does this work with mac too?

Hi, i'm on mac OSX and i would like to know if you will produce a version of this software for the mac users.
Thanks.

It would be appreciated.

OSX please!

I'd like to third the hope for OSX love! Amazing looking tool. :)

mac os x please + 1 !

Hi there,
I don´t see the advantage here - why not Pop the gmails into my normal outlook on a regular basis and save them as a normal .pst file?

I'm trying to run this under Mac OSX Leopard. I installed:

wxpython: http://wxpython.org/download.php

and

python: http://www.python.org/download/

but no luck for me. The program crashes without any clue.
I read about an unofficial version of gmail backup without GUI.
Could you please send me to the right direction?

Thank you in advance,

s

Dear all, with the CLI interface (with all the correct parameters, otherwise it will return the 'No gmb' error) all runs well.

The syntax is:

./gmail-backup.sh backup ~/Gmail ****@gmail.com passwd

and all seems to go well!

Python interface crashes after 1 sec.

Stay tuned!

make it portable please please please please

How to use under firewall ?

I've been using this product for a couple of days now to back up two accounts. It's working great. One issue I've noticed is that Gmail apparently throttles the maximum number of IMAP requests you can make in a limited period of time, so I have to do the back up incrementally. Other than that, it's working great!

In my XP works perfectly and in two heavy accounts... only two things, 1) only 1 court so far, but recovered very well where was. 2) Did not take advantage of the speed of the line :-(

sl2 and great job. Thanks a lot.

Another detail... the interface to Win XP cannot be minimized.

Does a Mac version exists?
thanks

gui, nhan va sao luu cac thu dien tu

thanks for great tool
lol

for those wanting an OSX backup just use the mail.app with IMAP set up. you ll have a full back up of your emails + contacts.

I feel good with gmail backup, i tried pop peepr and it is better.

Amazingly helpful tool. Thanks, thanks, thanks and thanks again! :D

I've got two suggestions for improvement:

1. I'd like to backup my outbox/sent messages as well. Can it be added?

2. I'd like atleast the first few characters of the subject and/or senders name to be appended to the .eml-filename. Perhaps it could be optional (in checkboxes perhaps? "Add subject to filename [x]" "Add sender to filename [x]")

Your tool looks great!
Didn't know this kinda software exsisted.

Are you planning on making it open source?
If so, i'm a willing developer.

I backed up one gmail account. It appears from the number of files that the correct number of .eml files were created but the labels.txt file only includes entries for emails that were located in the inbox (i.e., if a take the number of .eml files minus the lines in the labels.txt file, I'm off by the number of messages that were in my sent folder of this account). When I restored this backup to another account, only the inbox files were restored. Do you know about this? Do you have a way of backup up and restoring a particular folder inside gmail so I can get these other files moved over? TIA. BTW, nice tool!

Shame so many people are STILL religiously copying this stuff. Looked great back then (and I loved the book too, when I was 13), but now is essentially stale and nostalgic.
