That why I went to web mail. If you are that worried then do this for safety, Create another gmail account and forward to it. I have many and that works for me and just makes sense. Just my opinion, but I have been in the industry for many years. May be a nice app but what is the true use, Why would you want to back up a web mail account. That why I went to web mail.

Just sync your google mail account with Thunderbird. Everything will be backed up automaticly. Even mails sent directly from Gmail. It’s just not needed at all.
