Gmail is a great email service that offers plenty of storage and a lot of great features. Gmail will also let you save Gmail emails off of the service to a computer or external hard drive so you can save those messages locally as a backup. Additionally, Gmail emails you download to your computer or external hard drive will include any attachments included with the message, so you can access those as well.

Now let's walk through the steps to download an email from Gmail with its attachments.

Step 1. Launch Gmail and open the email with attachments you want to download to your computer.

Step 2. Click the "More" icon in the upper right corner of the email. The More icon looks like vertical ellipses. A menu opens.

Step 3. Click "Download Message" in the menu. The Save As dialog box appears.

Step 4. Choose the location where you want to save your downloaded Gmail email with attachments and then click "Save." The Gmail email will be saved to your specified location. The file will be saved as an EML file, which can be opened with your computer's email client, such as Windows Mail. When you open the file in a different email client, any attachments contained within the email will be available as well.

too bad the drop down menu from those three dots at upper right doesn't have a "download message' option. That kinda makes these instructions unhelpful entirely.

How do download in bulk as oppose to one at a time?

Hi there, thank you for your video. My problem is storage. Will moving all Gmail with attachments to my laptop allow more storage? I'm at 94%capacity. Prefer not to pay monthly for more storage. TIA

This works, but only for the first message in a message thread.
The other messages are not exported.

In Conversation view setting, the method only downloads one email. How is it possible to download the entire conversation?

[minanaeemi]

There is no option for downloading an email

[shitalgawande]

There is no option of download message

[ValFolarin]

the fact that i have to search up a video just to do this should tell you enough

[MrAnticaArte]

Useless video. We need to know how to download the entire conversation, NOT just one message.
