Meanwhile, I’m going to back up all of my Gmail forthwith. But wait a minute -– how do you back up Gmail?
This is a free application for Mac, PC and Linux called Gmail Backup.
I gave it a try and it’s easy to use. After a quick download, you just give it your credentials and it begins downloading all your e-mails, backing them up securely no matter what Google decides to do.
