Is it necessary to enable IMAP in gmail before using GmailBackup?

And I can't find any info aboiut what exactly is backed up? The All Mail folder, according to date parameters?

Thanks! -- dom

Hi dom,
yes, the IMAP access is necessary to run GMail Backup. If you don't have an IMAP access, you will get the following message:


Error: IMAP: [ALERT] Your account is not enabled for IMAP use. Please visit your Gmail settings page and enable your account for IMAP access. (Failure)

i have installed the backup tool.i open it, isert entire email address & password, then select a folder, and i selected the dates... but how do i get the tool to run???

Can I use this even if I already use a mail client to download my mail via POP? I would like to create independent, redundant systems to backup my e-mails.

Does the application backup also all the mails in sent folder of gmail, or just the inbox?

Thanks in advance.

Great program!!

I've setup a script to do incremental backups, and I use stat to get the last modified time of the labels.txt file. e.g.:

stat -f %Sc -t %Y%m%d labels.txt

this gives me the last modified date of that file in the format that gmail backup wants. works great.

(this is on a mac)

thanks again for your great work.

Big improvement over the last version. But some emails still slip through when I perform a test restore to another GMail account (about 10 conversations out of almost 1200, not sure why) and read/unread status is not preserved.

I used this tool for my google application & work as backup my email but when i deleted my email from google server or from my mailbox, i used restore button but mails does not restored.

Even though the dates are specified for incremental back ups, it starts checking for the whole emails from the start, and it takes down. And though it states that it has downloaded, 20%, 30%, nothing is seen in the 'specified output folder' even after many many attempts.

I have installed the Gmail Backup and now I have only one time make en backup with succes. After a few weeks I become every times the following message:
GMail Backup versie 691 (2009-02-20)
Start back-up van e-mailaccount veraertjos@gmail.com into C:\Backup
Fout: (10060, 'Operation timed out')
Er zijn netwerkproblemen; gelieve later te proberen.

What do I wrong ?

I only want to backup Certain Email from my gmail. How do I do this?

Once the data is downloaded I would like to sort the backup data based on GMAIL label. I see the labels in the labels.txt file but I can't get them to show up in the directory headings inorder to sort on them. Are they identified under a different name in the directory headings or are they there at all? Thanks for this program and thanks for the assist.

Is gmail backup free？

I've asked the question concerning labels #13. Does anyone monitor this board? It would be nice to have an answer concerning sorting on labels. //www.gmail-backup.com/incremental-backup#comment-2020

Thank you.

Is it possible to select to backup by their labels? I would like to only backup files that have a specific label.

Thanks

I have set the IMAP access, but I still got the message:
"Error: IMAP: [ALERT] Invalid credentials (Failure)"

What can I do?

Hi,
Wanted to understand if the tool will also do a incremental restore and the steps for the same.
Thanks

A new service thegmailbackup.com
will let any user to download the entire gmail inbox on to PC just by 1 single click.

Nothing to download. Nothing to install. Fully web based.

Completely safe.

I did everything as you wrote, after I run the program, and it loaded my mail into a one file what can I do with them, I can not open it.

This is the most important to me. I only need to backup from main account into new account 3GB of info and not the full 7GB I have there :)

When i run the application shows this error. I'm using GMail Backup revision 691 (2009-02-20).

sir my arvindsingh.singh458@gmail.com is not open i have my veryfication code gmail and orkut code and my phone number also sir my facebook accound from this id is opened for gmail id and orkut is not opened pls help me arvind singh

What can I do to resolve this?

I've transferred about 12,000 messages from a GMail account to a Google Apps account. Now I'd like to transfer the labels. Is there any way to do this without transferring all 12,000 messages again?

Incremental backups is great, but what happens if after my 1st backup I delete from Gmail a whole bunch of emails, will those be removed too from my backup in the next incremental backup, or will they just be there forever, helping to bloat my backup more and more?

How can I protect this sofware from Keylogger softwares with =out using antivirus software???

It opens with editor and I cant see anything

as others on here have posted..How do you go about viewing the saved emails to be able to load on CD's or save to other locations in my PC
thanks for any help

It appears the larger the Gmail account, the slower the backup proceeds. Does Google throttle the download to EML files? Is there some way to speed the process?

Thanks
