I've got two errors, which I can resolve by changing two thing in code:

  File "./backup_gmail.py", line 158, in getGmailPrefix
    raise SelectMailBoxError('<All Mail>', labels)
NameError: global name 'SelectMailBoxError' is not define

- It is member of self so I just corrected it locally to go further, I got the error below:

SelectMailBoxError: MailBox [<All Mail>] does not exists.

- I'm using a french version of Gmail, and "All Mail" = "Tous les messages". I changed this and now everything is working very well!

I let you correct the code from your side, thanks a lot for this nice utilities also!

the problem are the internationalization

I print the start and end:
u'21-abr-2002', u'20-abr-2010'

april 21 in spanish

I change:

ret, result = self.gmail.search(None, '(SINCE "%s") (BEFORE "%s")' % (start, end))
to
ret, result = self.gmail.search(None, '(SINCE "%s") (BEFORE "%s")' % (u'21-apr-2002', u'20-apr-2010'))

and run ok, then the problem are in my case the language date of start and end.
