NoPriv - my Email Backup Software needs testers

My open source IMAP Email Backup software has just had a new version. New features include:

image

  • Add support to download all folders without typing them all out. Using "NoPriv_All" as foldername now downloads all available folders.
  • Fix quite a few HTML errors
  • Converted layout from HTML Kickstart to Twitter Bootstrap
  • Add offline mode (only converts the Maildir to HTML, does not try to download new email)
  • Fix issue #22, NoPriv does not crash on empty IMAP folders anymore
  • Fix issue #23, NoPriv now tries a few times when the IMAP connection is reset. This happens with Google Mail sometimes.

I'd like to ask you guys to test it and report how it works. What I'd specifically would like to see tested:

  • Non english emails (arabic, hindi, russian) tests.
  • The new layout (bootstrap) sometimes does not render in Internet Explorer.
  • Performance on large (+10GB) accounts

I'd like it very much if you guys would help me. Please report the bugs on Github or post them as reply here.

    Requirements on the page clearly state that you need Python 2.7.

    Btw @Raymii I love this. I've been an iCloud user throughout the years from back when it was called .Mac, and one thing that is certain is that Apple is bad at archiving data for viewing through their services. My webmail is filled with e-mails that are blank, unreadable. But I can download them via IMAP. Your method is my favorite, and it allows me to keep a local archive, that is easily accessible, of my old e-mails. So thanks for this.
