local gmail backup
I have a script that runs GYB (https://github.com/GAM-team/got-your-back) downloads all the emails as files. which can be opened with something like thunderbird if needed. or using GYB can reupload to a different google account. it also zips and archives the backup to multiple locations. cron runs it once a day. if any errors are thrown it both emails me and messages on slack with a log file of what happened.

How do I migrate Workspace from a reseller?
the question here is if you own a whol eworkspace or if you are part of something split up. if you are not the superadmin it's difficult... anyway if you only care about emails go for got your back ( https://github.com/GAM-team/got-your-back ) if you need drive data you might try to create a shared drive, share it with your source user and move stuff in there if the license on the source environment allows it.

Ask HN: Do You Host Your Own Email?
I did a bunch of research on this earlier this year. I really do enjoy GMail, even if it is technically a cloud service. So, I split the difference on this one. I use a gmail account as "primary", but I still have my own domain for email inboxes. The best option I found is to have my own domain (e.g. at Hover) and then have the MX Servers managed by Cloudflare's new product, email routing. That's described here[1] and here[2]. What's nice about this setup: you have your own domain; you can setup custom forwarding rules; all email flows to a single GMail inbox. So then your only concern is backup and email export. For this, I setup automation with a script called got-your-back[3], a nice Python script that can archive your GMail account and restore it to another account.

What do you use to backup emails, contacts, calendar from online services ((Gmail, Outlook, etc)
1) I'm aware of GMvault and Got-Your-Back for gmails. Are there other options that would work for other email services?

how do you get from a .py file to a binary?
I'm looking at this project right now, which is python code. Their release page has a few files and it's just a binary (at least for linux), not python code anymore.
There's a spec file that's used by PyInstaller.

Google terminated our Developer Account, says it is “associated”
I agree, but an an alternative to mbox/maildir format on your machine : this is also why I wrote https://github.com/karteum/gmvaultdb in order to have a single-file SQLite DB with all old email contents (all UTF-8 inside, simple/minimalistic schema), together with a small GUI to consult emails and do queries (full-text not fully implemented yet but this is the target) and all attachments extracted in a side folder so that I can directly browse with a file manager.
Notice that Google Takeout is broken with regards to non-UTF8 email encodings (for some of you who archive old emails). I noticed it when coding a small tool https://github.com/karteum/gmvaultdb to (among other things) import the mbox from Takeout into an sqlite DB : Google performs some encoding conversions that permanently break all non-ascii characters in non-UTF8 emails (they are all replaced by 0xEFBFBD). In order to archive old emails, I had to use mbsync with IMAP (gmvault does not work with Python 3, and I didn't try yet https://github.com/GAM-team/got-your-back ).
What are some alternatives?
