grant a user access to all the mailboxes,
This bit has me a bit stuck, I tend to think of mailboxes as having a 1:1 mapping with users. How do I give one user access to multiple mailboxes?
use offlineimap to download all the mail somewhere else in to a maildir structure, rejoice.
offlineimap looks like a nice tool and probably useful for me now that I'm using Google Apps too, although as I use Thunderbird as a mail reader I'm not sure I can get away without also installing a local imap server (which isn't really an issue if I have to). I'll investigate.
