While outlook 2007 is the Most popular Email client program but i am not a big fan and prefer the browser instead for managing emails.Its very important that I keep a back up of all My emails Which I can read offline in case i need some necessary information .This is exactly what Gmailbackup Does.

Enter Your Gmail Login Details and Choose a Folder in your Hard disk. After that specify a start date and a Finish Date and Hit the Magic Button “Back up”  Now Sit back and relax. The App Will download All Your mails In the specified Folder along with the attachments. You can also Save the mails on a USB stick and carry Your emails across Multiple computers. (Note that The emails are saved as outlook express email message.)

If you want to save the Gmail chats and read them offline Then try this workaround.

Note : Shankar has Written an extensive guide on Backing Up Gmails using Gmailkeeper.Its more powerful and You can backup multiple Gmail accounts With labels.

  2. One helpful tip is never to delete the text file ids.txt from your download directory as it contains list of already downloaded mails so that even if you delete your backups, they won’t be downloaded again during your next session with Gmail Backup unless you delete the file.
    Hope that was clear.

    So far so good, this is the fastest way to get my gmail attachments but I’m still open to discovering an even FASTER way of getting my gmail attachments.

    Thanks for the post guys.
