there are specialised tools for something like that
do a web search for 'getmail' (a Python script) and you'll find pointers
in the right direction

I don't think Rmail can synchronize with IMAP servers (of which gmail is
one).
However, you might consider moving to VM, which can work with
Rmail-style folders and synchronize with IMAP servers.
You might be able to find VM in your Linux distribution, or you can
download it from here:

I think for that maybe tools like "offlineimap" are much more suitable,
it's very very powerful fast and in python ;)

The way VM works is essentially an "offline" "imap". There is a copy of
the IMAP folder on the local file system and it is synchronized
occasionally with the IMAP server using Emacs commands.
I agree however that "offlineimap" could be an effective solution to the
OP's issue.

Uday

I just noticed that you had a second question in your post, which was
somewhat unrelated to the first one.
> Alternately, is there an Emacs mode that exists within Gmail (maybe via Google Labs) that would allow me to respond comprehensively to multiple "To" in an email thread via the following response:

VM does have this capability as well. You can mark a set of messages to
respond to and hit `reply' to reply to all of them in one message. The
response goes to all the senders of those messages (and to the mailing
list, if that is part of the circulation).

Uday
