- Be cautious when using third-party tools, as they may require you to grant them access to your Gmail account. Make sure to read the tool's terms of service and privacy policy before using it.
- If you're downloading a large number of emails, it may take some time for the download process to complete. Be patient and make sure you have enough storage space on your computer or device.
