What is the best way to migrate Gmail to MBOX?

[ashutoshjha1101]

To export Gmail to MBOX manually, enable IMAP on Gmail settings first, then set up an email client such as Thunderbird to sync your chosen folders (Inbox, Sent, etc.); after synchronizing, find the MBOX file in Thunderbird's profile directory and paste it to your chosen storage place—this is time-consuming and doesn't include sophisticated filtering or batch-processing like dedicated tools do.

To avoid these limitations, you can choose to utilize the DRS Softech Gmail Converter Tool. It simplifies the process, allowing you to export Gmail emails to MBOX, PST, MSG, PDF, EML, CSV, and many more. It supports filtered backups (without duplicates and date-wise exports) and even allows you to exclude attachments for minimal storage.

Steps to Convert Gmail to MBOX:
1. Install the tool, log in using your Gmail account.

2. Choose folders (Inbox, Sent, Drafts, etc.) to export.

3. Select "MBOX" from the file format menu.

4. Use filters (ignore duplicates, date range, etc.).

5. Select a location to save and click "Download" to initiate.
