OK, I downloaded this, but there's no usable documentation. When I run
the sample 'archive.py' it does indeen prompt for userid, password,
and label, and it runs through all the contents of label saving the
results to an array mbox[], but nothing is done with that array, so
it's a throwaway.

I'm not familiar enough with email retrieval methods to tell whether
the code is saving the mail contents or just header information. Is
anyone familiar with libgmail who might know how to actually save an
mbox file?
