It probably isn't offering as much control compared to using the developer API directly, but it's a lot less hassle.ġ: I believe Google has some rate limiting in place, so I am adding some steps to accommodate those limits.
This is probably the easiest way to accomplish a one time export, and I think they have an option to set up a recurring export too. It is packaged in an mbox file but that is pretty straightforward to convert to other formats. They will send you an email when the archive is ready for download. Log in, click the "deselect" option at the top of the list, then scroll down to Mail and check just that. You can do this super easy using Google Takeout. You will need to remember to kill the daemon process if you don't want it to continue syncing until the next reboot. Start fetchmail using the same command as above, but omit the -d0 switch.įetchmail should start as a true daemon and continue to periodically download batches of messages until the whole mailbox is downloaded.This is the maximum number of messages to fetch per poll. Confirm that the polling option fetchlimit 400 is set in the ~/.fetchmailrc under the options section in the poll stanza.Confirm that the polling interval is configured in the ~/.fetchmailrc by the line daemon 600 (ie.First, configure fetchmail with appropriate polling interval and batch size settings 1. If everything looks good, then it's time to start fetchmail as a daemon process and let it download the entire mailbox. Let it finish and check that it worked as expected. This might not get everything in one shot it very likely won't if the address has accumulated even a small amount of history. Messages can be read using the mail command or get the raw content from /var/mail/. If you have sendmail (a pretty safe bet), this might work: $ fetchmail -d0 -avNk -m "/usr/sbin/sendmail -i -f %F - %T" and then deliver it to the local machine's delivery system. What to do at this point will depend on your local setup. app_password is a specially generated password that is restricted to the gmail application (go here: and click Security, then app passwords and generate a new app password).gmail_user_name is everything to the left of the in the email address.local_user is some local account where undeliverable mail should go (the "last ditch effort" before failing permanently).User 'gmail_user_name' there with password 'app_password' is local_user here options ssl fetchlimit 400 Try something like this for the ~/.fetchmailrc file: set postmaster "local_user" It looks like the config is set to poll an IMAP server but then specifying POP3 protocol.
