I was going crazy trying to transfer all our emails from the old gmail to the new one. THANK YOU for so clearly showing and explaining how to do this! You truly saved the day!

Tony, I have been struggling to back up my defective laptop and Microsoft Edge has been compromising all of my efforts. Your video has finally exhibited the best way to do it. Microsoft Support has been excellent. H.P. technical support has been horrific and I will never buy another laptop from them. Thank you. I look forward to more of your Technical videos.

I was distracted by the Old Bay seasoning box on the shelf behind you. Now I'm just thinking of crab legs for lunch. thanks LOL

Thanks. Almost lost me too when a few steps were not illustrated from your video but overall, with a little tech smart, I was able to get it. I guess my question I still have is... it only seems that I went from one email base to the next..! They are not downloaded to my hard drive. Am I missing something? Thanks

Hi Tony,
Thanks for tech tip, I wanted to know if this mbox file will have all the email addresses (like to from cc bcc) before I give it a try.
Cheers

Great Video on backing up the data. Is there a bulk purge option for 32k messages in gmail? How do I clear out the inbox in gmail all at one time? Thanks again

[willward]

Well stone me, I never knew this Dude, thanks for the info and great video :)

[garrincha]

Thanks for this tutorial. How can you have these as regular files on a flash drive to view offline.

Did you set this up as IMAP or POP in Thunderbird?

[sinoool]

Hi Tony, Why can't you see the sent msgs in thunderbird when using this method?

[UpgradingJeff]

Tony, I will complete this process soon. I was wondering if there is a way to delete all emails from the gmail server after I download all and get them into thunderbird? I was also wondering if I can have all future gmail messages auto download to local drive and delete from server?

[andrewedwards]

Hi Tony, is it possible to select all emails conversations from one sender, I don't need to download my complete inbox.

[TheConfusedJew]

Great video! I have four files...3 are Zip and one is MBOX. Any idea what the zip files are? I downloaded ALL gmail and Google Drive info.

[tkrealestate]

Does Thunderbird have full access to your email to be able to read, delete and etc.?

[nkkri]

Is there a simple way to upload the MBOX to a 2nd gmail account to be used as a backup or if the original account is getting close being full. Been searching and can't find the answer. I use Windows 7

[nateodendahl]

Thank you -- very useful! Is there a way to make sure the inbox's label and folder structure transfers over? When I imported the mbox file into thunderbird, the emails were no longer organized

[xrunr]

Looks like the original emails remain on gmail, too. Like you're not downloading and removing them from the online gmail platform- is that correct?

[richied]

It seems that the only way to get text and pictures is to copy and paste each one at a time, to which is the format I need them to be in. can this be done any faster?
