  • offlineimap

    Read/sync your IMAP mailboxes (python2) [LEGACY: move to offlineimap3]

    • I've used offlineimap in the past: http://www.offlineimap.org/

  • got-your-back

    Got Your Back (GYB) is a command line tool for backing up your Gmail messages to your computer using Gmail's API over HTTPS.

    • I use GYB, it stores emails in separate *.eml files, so it should be easily searchable.
