A french blogger (@Nicolargo) wrote a how-to to do an automatic and incremental backup of your Gmail account. You can find it there : http://blog.nicolargo.com/2012/08/sauvegarde-incrementale-et-automatise-de-votre-compte-gmail.html . In the case of you don't understand french, I could translate it for you ;-)
From the little I can understand it looks like a write up of the tool
getmail - http://pyropus.ca/software/getmail/ - which does seem to do most of what I need. I'll see if it has the ability to do date ranges and to remove the mail after downloading it. If it can do both of those then I've probably got a starting point. Robin

Thinking about all the hacks that have happened where mail spools have been dumped I reckon it would be a good idea to remove a lot of that data, maybe everything beyond 6 months old, but I don't want to delete it, just in case. So I was thinking of setting up some kind of offline backup which I could store encrypted and only open if I ever need to dig back through. I know this can be done manually with IMAP or POP3, pulling down the mails and then deleting them from the server and possibly using GPG to add them to the storage location. But I don't like doing things manually where they can be scripted so I was wondering if anything like this already existed before I start putting something together myself. Anyone know of anything?
