This might help
http://www.pantz.org/software/thunderbird/thunderbirdandmovemail.html

procedure in the article is,

 Gmail  =>  fetchmail => procmail => { local file }  =>  thunderbird

this is how you could possibly modify the setup,

 Gmail  =>  fetchmail => procmail => { local file (remote) }  => rsync = >{
usb disk } => {local file (home)}  thunderbird (saves in .thunderbird)

Hello


  Not sure why you need fetchmail for this. You can as well setup
thunderbird on some other machine, download all the mails and then
copy the new mailbox files to your machine.
  


I need to use fetchmail because I do not want to make all my mails
public on another machine, which is at a place where others use the
same computer and also may have their mails on it. Ultimately what I
need to do is that mails are downloaded by fetchmail running as a
daemon, and I need to set up a simple shellscript that will copy the
downloaded mailfile (usually from /var/spool?) to a usbstick.

Moz

PS: I use Ubuntu Hardy and Jaunty on various machines, and recently got
it running from a LiveUSB stick on a Asus EeePC 7 inch, 512MB, Atom
processor, worked like a dream. Quite fast actually, faster than the
Jaunty NBR or UNRs. This was a standard 32 bit Karmic.

Don't worry, I never got hurt. "A Sorry" for a mistake is very much
essential even if he is addressing a friend (I feel).

Hey Mallikarjun,

This is a friendly mailing list so i think what we were having was a
discussion, if you have accepted what was said then sorry's are not
needed.

why ?

because from what i understand -
1.  thunderbird is software we use within Ubuntu (among many other
distros and OS) and in that case its relevant to an Ubuntu user

2. From previous posts by Moz it seems like he uses Ubuntu

Great to hear that, even I had the same problem. But the solution is simple.
First of all a question? Weather you want all the emails right from the day
one to till date? or just the mails from today

In first case: You can setup thunderbird for gmail (Should not be difficult
I guess) on a unlimited internet connection and fetch mail, it will start
downloading all mails till date and the you can take a backup of it, and
then restore in you system.

In second case: only mails from the moment you configure will be downloaded,
for this, go to Gmail --> settings --> *Forwarding and POP/IMAP --> 2nd
option and save settings*
Now you get only new mails.

Sincerely and thanks in advance.
