Gmvault: Backup and restore your Gmail account
Is Gmvault the best way to backup and restore my Gmail account? I have not tried Gmvault, but I have tried two other backup solutions. I recommend [GYB]: - I have successfully migrated a 10+ GB gmail account to another account. - There were a few emails that could not be restored, but I think this is a limitation of the Gmail API: it does not allow an email to be restored if it thinks it contains malicious content. - There was also a large swath of emails that were restored with the wrong date (date of restoration instead of actual email date.) This was a little annoying and hopefully can be fixed later. - Downsides: complicated installation and no simple way to view/search through emails. [MailStore] is good for archiving emails (but not restoring them): - Lacks one crucial feature: resume restore. A 10GB+ restore never works to completion on the first try, and mailstore must start over every time. So I never got it to successfully restore. - However, it has a simple UI that allows you to search/view your emails.
