Is there an easy way to mirror my gmail mailbox to a local (linux) server?

Due to the number of clients at home (phone, tablets, etc) I keep hitting the gmail imap connection limit. Also would be good to have a backup of my mail locally just in case.

As Eric already commented, imapsync could be a solution for you. With imapsync you would be able to mirror your mails into a local mail box (e.g. provided by cyrus).

Unfortunately all your calender entries, contacts etc will not be affected when using imapsync. However, having access to your mails locally should be sufficient.

You can learn more about ImapSync here: Official ImapSync website
