Thanks for the info. I skimmed through the man page, but wasn't able to find out how can I backup only a certain folders (labels in gmail term). I suppose it is not the pattern(s) for "mailbox", which means something else to me. > But I use the manual way and try to keep the mailbox folders in a good > shape to avoid having lots (thounsands!) of message is just one "label". Could you share how you do it the manual way please? > Split messages by years/topics is the clue to have a "sane" Gmail :-) Is it ok to do it *afterward*? I.e., is it OK to, at the beginning of the year, do something like mv my_important_mails my_important_mails_2010 mkdir my_important_mails and not break anything? Moreover, how can I view those folders in thunderbird? (I was able to view local mailbox files before, but somehow I can't do it now) Thanks -- Tong (remove underscore(s) to reply) http://xpt.sourceforge.net/techdocs/ http://xpt.sourceforge.net/tools/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
