Comment on Back That Gmail Up

Comments

This may be a naive question, but why is it not enough to set your mail client to save a copy of all messages?

The problem which might arise is also, that being locked out of your email account will most likely result in being locked out of any "recover password" functions anywhere on the web. Thus, you need a backup of your email and preferably a working email address, too!

For many people, Gmail is their email client...

For many, it might be easier to run a mail client than a python script though.
