Gmvault is a Python command-line tool for backing up and restoring Gmail accounts, storing emails locally with incremental sync support. It authenticates via OAuth2 or password and keeps a local email database that can be restored to any Gmail account.

Use cases

  • back up my gmail account locally
  • restore emails to a new gmail account
  • incremental sync of gmail messages
  • export gmail emails to disk
  • avoid losing email correspondence
  • migrate gmail between accounts

When to choose

  • you need a free, open-source, self-hosted Gmail backup
  • you want incremental syncing with local email storage
  • you prefer a simple command-line workflow with OAuth2

When to avoid

  • you need a GUI backup tool
  • you back up non-Gmail email providers
  • you need actively maintained software with recent releases
