Either subscribe to their pop3 service for a month and download it all to outlook, or use something like yahoo pops. http://ypopsemail.com/ You probably won't be able to upload it back to gmail, or another webservice, but you should be able to at least put it in thunderbird / outlook and burn it to some cd's.

Right now we're only using data that's uploaded directly to our site, but we'll be adding import functionality that'll make batch imports a breeze. Our data is backed up by a non-profit Foundation, which uses money to build an algorithm per 1mb of data to store (and update the technology, which is important) for today + 100 years. The cost is based on storage, back-up, mirror site, off site tapes, personnel, bandwidth, electricity, hosting etc. The site has the usual reduncancies, and another back-up on amazon S3 performed nightly. I realize nothing is a guarantee. But at least a legit attempt is better than one day the company shutting its doors and your pictures/ blog/ website is totally gone.
