    I read and liked your post. I like you love python but have to deal daily with Java at work and have the same kind of thinking. With the age, I guess that what matters is the resul…

    Great. Thanks for making it available freely. It will be very useful to build desktop application with bootstrap and node-webkit or appjs for example.

    I totally agree with you. What is the lesson here ? You need indexes to speed up queries in any structured data storage. Uh, great but I am worried about the glipho backend then. A…

    Thanks I will check that possibility. It might be easier to manage than chromium or nodejs as a local desktop app.

    Still it relies on wxPython or PyQT which is my problem because you are limited to the existing widgets somehow (or you need to create your own widgets and then it is slow and pain…

    ok but after practically what do I do ? I run it in a chromium, I launch a HTTP server ? In the end I want to make a desktop GUI and I would like a solution which is not too clunky…

    Gmvault stores email content in individual files as text files (EML file) so it should be pretty easy to add some export functionalities (it might be a second tool). I will add tha…

    You can already do that by 7zipping the subdir db of the Gmvault-db dir. I think that 7zip can archive a directory tree. You could also tar it and 7zip it to have one dir containin…

    thanks for the support. You can backup multiple accounts in one data directory (Gmvault-db) with the option --multiple-db-owner. When you restore though all the emails from this Gm…
