I am looking for a Windows tool that can be used to create daily backups
of a Gmail account to Maildir format. I am basically looking for a
one-way sync, Gmail → Maildir. When a new dail backup is made, then:
* New messages should be downloaded.
* Messages that were deleted on the server shou

I doubt that fetchmail can sync, i.e. locally remove messages that were
deleted on the server.

I don't understand why you ask this. If there's a misunderstanding,

True, I didn't think about using "mbsync" for IMAP to IMAP. However, in
case I would chose a solution with an IMAP server, "imapsync" would

I don’t manage to get a full sync from Gmail with isync 1.1.0:

Reading configuration file /home/ec2-user/.mbsyncrc

I set up mbsync on a Linux system. The Maildir store would be synced to
Windows. However, Windows doesn’t like colons in file names. So I tried
enabling *alternative scheme*, hoping that this would lead to simpler
file names.
However, file names still contain colons:
$ ls -1 sync_test/INBOX/c

Granted I missed that because I was primarily looking at the `mbsync`
man page. Could you imagine having an `mbsync` option for changing

Just upgraded to isync 1.2.0, and I adjusted my configuration file – see
below.
Now, `/usr/local/bin/mbsync -V gmail` gives an error message:

Since a few days, I get the above error message. My `~/.mbsyncrc` you
find below, slightly anonymized. Upgrading from isync 1.2.0 to 1.2.1 did
not help. What could be the issue?

User fe...@example.com

Seems that Google removed an Imap folder:
$ /usr/local/bin/mbsync -VDmn gmail
Reading configuration file /home/ec2-user/.mbsyncrc
Channel gmail

OK, the fix was simple: Change display language in Gmail settings from
German to English. The display language also affects the names of the
IMAP folders.

It wasn’t on the server. But now it reappeared in Trash, which was empty
when I checked before.
