This might help
http://www.pantz.org/software/thunderbird/thunderbirdandmovemail.html

procedure in the article is,

 Gmail  =>  fetchmail => procmail => { local file }  =>  thunderbird

this is how you could possibly modify the setup,

 Gmail  =>  fetchmail => procmail => { local file (remote) }  => rsync = >{
usb disk } => {local file (home)}  thunderbird (saves in .thunderbird)


thanks
