Export Gmail Emails to MBOX Format

[jamesrobert15]

Exporting Gmail emails to MBOX format is a common need, and there are a couple of ways to achieve this. Let me share a manual method as well as introduce you to the Gmail Backup tool by Cigati.

Manual Method: To manually export Gmail emails to MBOX, you can use the "Google Takeout" service. Simply log in to your Gmail account, go to Google Takeout, select Gmail, and customize the export settings. While this method is free, it has some drawbacks. Firstly, it can be time-consuming, especially if you have a large mailbox. Secondly, it doesn't provide automatic and continuous backups, making it less convenient for regular backups.

Professional method: If you're looking for a more efficient and hassle-free solution, the Cigati Gmail Backup tool is a great choice. It allows you to easily export Gmail emails to MBOX format with a few clicks. It offers features like scheduled backups and selective email export, which are not available in the manual method. However, keep in mind that the Cigati tool is a paid solution.
