You'd have to leave it for a while, but it should be possible to select all and save into another location for each folder (label). I use offlineimap which writes out as Maildir format, and my Alpine is patched for Maildir support. But I'm pretty sure this is trivially convertible and I also think there are other syncing tools that should be able to write in mbox format, although xoauth2, might be a bit of a hindrance. - Damion -- Damion Yates - [email protected] London, England
