archiving gmail

[Robin Wood <robin () digininja org>]

I've been using gmail/google apps for years and according to their
stats I've got over 7G stored in my mailbox. 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?
