You can specify the date to export, so could step back exporting batches until you've got everything.

It shouldn't be too hard to write a script to scrape you're whole history...

Doesn't work for me:

export.rb:1:in `require': no such file to load -- mechanize (LoadError) from export.rb:1

edit: nvm, installed libwww-mechanize-ruby and it's working fine.
