GYB 0.40 is a beta release and may not be as stable as 0.31. If you encounter issues, downgrade to 0.40.

  • Major rewrite of GYB. No more IMAP. GYB now uses Gmail API
    • Gmail API is much simpler to use.
    • Gmail API has better support for unicode label names.
    • Gmail API supports batch operations which improve the performance of backup and restore operations.
    • Gmail API supports advanced features like migrating mail directly to Google Vault.

Caveats:

  • GYB 0.40 is NOT backward compatible. It cannot backup/restore folders created with older versions of GYB. Backwards compatibility will be launched again in the future.
  • GYB 0.40 does not handle all connection / server errors perfectly yet. It may crash on a backup / restore but you should be able to restart where it left off.
