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.
