Gmail Keeper v1.3.0.241 has been released with the following enhancements.

1. The restore function of Gmail Keeper has improved a lot:

• Restore is now incremental. That means if a restore is failed due to any Gmail server issue you can simply restart it without worrying about duplicated emails being uploaded again.
• Now you can restore backup data to an Gmail account that is in use, the limit of the previous versions has been removed.
• The  read/unread status are now retained in the local backup archive and after restoring to a Gmail or Google Apps account. This makes Gmail Keeper a perfect tool for transferring emails from an ordinary Gmail account to a Google Apps account and the likes.

2. The backup operation is now more reliable because Gmail Keeper now checks free disk space before performing a backup, to avoid errors caused by not having enough disk space to store the Gmail backup data.

3. Gmail Keeper is now more flexible (configurable):

• Allow specifying the temp folder for the backup process. This option is extremely useful when the drive in where your system temporary folder is located does not have enough space for storing the temporary files during the backup process.
• Allow users to specify the number of email headers to download each time. Users can reduce this value to solve the problem that Gmail Keeper fails to download the email headers.

Start from today I’ll post the release notes about Gmail Keeper here. Here are some other changes made  since the first version:

1. Added a new context menu item to let you quickly locate both the network activity and backup/restore  log files in Windows Explorer, this smoothes the user feedback process.
2. Fixed a bug which prevents labels those happened to be parent labels of other labels being backed up. For example, if you have 2 labels, one is called Friends while another is called Friends/Jack (note the slash symbol), the former were not be backed up.
3. Fixed a bug which occurred when downloading email headers from a folder which contains a large amount (over several tens of thousands). This is because Gmail server is not designed to perfectly work with such backup operations performed by programs such as Gmail Keeper.  Anyway, we luckily found a way to solve it.
4. Fixed occational error which is caused by an network problem with message ‘Your Gmail display langugage has changed to none-English language, try to edit the profile and identify Gmail folders manually.’
