You can export Gmail emails to PST using either an automated tool or a manual process. The easiest and most reliable method is with the DRS Softech Gmail Backup Tool. This software allows you to back up your Gmail emails directly into PST format with just a few clicks. Simply log in with your Gmail credentials, select the folders you want to export, choose PST as the output format, and start the backup. It maintains folder hierarchy and supports filters for selective backup.
Alternatively, you can manually export emails by configuring your Gmail account in Microsoft Outlook using IMAP. Once the emails sync, go to File > Open & Export > Import/Export > Export to a file > Outlook Data File (.pst) and save the mailbox locally. While this method is free, it’s time-consuming and less efficient for large data sets. For ease and reliability, the DRS Gmail Backup Tool is highly recommended.
