Thanks for your work on Gmvault - really helps with my peace of mind.

I'd love to see:

- Better support for multiple accounts - at the moment I have to specify separate data directories manually every time I want to re-run a backup of each of my accounts. Would be great if Gmvault worked this out for me, and could run a backup on multiple accounts in a single run.

- Some way to read my backed up emails easily without re-importing them to Gmail - a mini mail server, a web-based UI, etc.

- A way to export to some other format if I want to migrate away to Gmail - mbox, etc.

thanks for the support. You can backup multiple accounts in one data directory (Gmvault-db) with the option --multiple-db-owner. When you restore though all the emails from this Gmvault-db will go to one Gmail account. If you want to have the possibility to restore each account individually, then you have to use a separate gmvault-db dir for each account. In the roadmap for v2.0 I have some tasks to add a better support for managing multiple accounts. As you said all the accounts will be incrementally backed up automatically onced configured. v2.0 will provide a GUI and one feature should be to allow users to browse their emails. A clean way to export emails in standard format (MailDir and maybe mbox) is since this morning also in my roadmap.

I'm using offlineimap, which syncs an IMAP server with the MailDir-Format. The MailDir-Format should be readable by any email program.

If you want mbox you can try www.snapshottool.com, which runs in the cloud and provides a local download.
