Long time ago I decided that lot of stuff is being stored on my Gmail account, stuff which I need so backup is required here...
The recent announcement of shutting down the Google reader account got to push me to take an action now and backup my Gmail account.
Lots of guides on how to backup Gmail accounts, but the interesting thing is that I've looked what's the oldest email I got there on my account and found that the first email on my account is the invitation I've sent to my friend.. Yeah what a crazy days... Back then you couldn't simply sign-up to Gmail, you had to get invited by someone you know and then you would get 20 invitations to invite your friends...
