Archive Google emails (offline storage on our PC)

In case of a member question, the procedure to save our emails from our gmail account locally on our computer is as follows:

1) We visit the link https://takeout.google.com/settings / takeout? pli = 1

Select Uncheck All and select only Mail.
By default, it will save all our subfolders.
For example, if we want to save only the Inbox, then we click on
"All Mail data included" and deselect "Include all messages from Mail"

1630593561950004 1896157171(1)

 

Select Inbox and click OK at the end of the list

Our final choice:

At the bottom of the page click Next Step
We have the option to schedule a periodic export of our data and select the type of compression for the file to be downloaded.

The size selection is about whether the file will be partitioned to a certain size. If the data is over 2Gb (eg 2.3Gb) then we will have a 2GB zip and a 0.3Gb.

It also gives the option of 50Gb, useful if we download data from Drive etc.
