my geocities account was destroyed, putting an end to my career as webmaster. I grew a resentment towards that website

    Same! Coincidentally, I recently backed up my Angelfire site from the late '90s. A lot of the original links were missing but thankfully they provide a `sitemap.xml` and I used HTTrack to make a local copy.

I fear this for my gmail. I now use mbsync (lieer[0]) to have my emails synced locally on my homeserver, and then browse it with notmuch[1]. It's an incredibly freeing experience to have all your email on your own machine. 0: https://github.com/gauteh/lieer https://github.com/gauteh/lieer 1: https://notmuch.readthedocs.io/en/latest/man1/notmuch.html https://notmuch.readthedocs.io/en/latest/man1/notmuch.html

  For the exact same reason I started using MacOS Mail app with gmail, but I am realising now that it doesn’t download “all” the emails unfortunately. Lieer looks like a good option, thank you.

    It's a great tool, it's just agonizingly slow sometimes because Google likes to throttle the connection when you make big changes. The initial download especially is slow, but the small changes thereafter are pretty fast.
