Re: [PLUG] How are you backing up your Gmail?

["Brent Saner" <brent.saner@gmail.com>]

there are a couple ways to this..

1. use a mail client such as thunderbird, connect, download all of 'em (ugh..that'd take forever). boom. backup.

2. gmail's been hacked into a mountable filesystem, but i've only seen it one way- from the local system to your gmail account, not the other way around. i'd imagine it's possible though.

try e-mailing someone from google (shouldn't be too hard to find an addy); if they don't have it, the developers would jump all OVER that idea.

Greetings,

I would like to make a local backup of my "All Mail" folder in Gmail.
Has anyone found a practical way to do this?  Standard searches on
Google and delicious have not turned up *the perfect app* :-(

The delicious search did turn up some interesting hits but...

Maybe this is an easier question...
Anybody know how long will Gmail will be in beta? ;-)
