A quick Google suggests there are lots of ways to archive IMAP accounts so I thought I'd see if anyone here has any recommendations. Specifically: I have a handful of Gmail accounts which I'd like to archive (by which I mean keep permanent accessible backups offline). I'd like the archive to be viewable with a GUI mail client like Thunderbird. I'd like support for OAuth2 authentication if possible. I'd also like anecdotes from anyone who's tried this. I can see conflicts between me deleting spam or other rubbish at the "live" end that I would also want deleted from the archive, for example, but also accidental deletions (or deletions of old emails to save space) at the live end that I would not want removed from the archive. -- Mark Rogers // More Solutions Ltd (Peterborough Office) // 0844 251 1450 Registered in England (0456 0902) 21 Drakes Mews, Milton Keynes, MK8 0ER
