How to Download Gmail Emails Locally?

[JoshuaJune]

Effortlessly downloading all your Gmail emails locally is best achieved by utilising Google Takeout, which is Google's native data export service. You simply visit the Google Takeout page, select "Mail" from the list of products you want to export, choose your desired file type (like .zip) and delivery method (like an email download link), and Google will prepare all your emails into one or more downloadable MBOX files, allowing you to save a comprehensive, local copy of your entire mailbox to your computer for offline backup.
Or to directly download emails from a Gmail account, get the Gmail Backup Tool.
