How to download gmail mail as msg file

There are a few ways to download Gmail emails as MSG files. Here are a few methods:

Method 1: Using Gmail's built-in feature

Log in to your Gmail account.
Click on the gear icon in the upper right corner and select "Settings".
Click on the "Forwarding and POP/IMAP" tab.
Enable IMAP and set up your email client to connect to Gmail using IMAP.
Use an email client like Microsoft Outlook or Mozilla Thunderbird to connect to your Gmail account using IMAP.
Select the emails you want to download as MSG files and right-click on them to select "Save As" or "Export".
Choose the MSG file format and save the emails to your desired location.

Method 2: Using a third-party add-on

Install the "Gmail MSG Exporter" add-on from the Chrome Web Store.
Log in to your Gmail account and click on the add-on icon in the upper right corner.
Select the emails you want to download as MSG files and click on the "Export" button.
Choose the MSG file format and save the emails to your desired location.

Method 3: Using a script or automation tool

Use a script or automation tool like AutoHotkey or Python to automate the process of downloading Gmail emails as MSG files.
Write a script that logs in to your Gmail account, selects the emails you want to download, and saves them as MSG files.
Run the script to download the emails.

Here is an example of a Python script that uses the imaplib and email libraries to download Gmail emails as MSG files:

import imaplib
import email
import os

# Set up your Gmail account credentials
username = 'your_email_address'
password = 'your_email_password'

# Connect to your Gmail account using IMAP
mail = imaplib.IMAP4_SSL('imap.gmail.com')
mail.login(username, password)
mail.select('inbox')

# Search for emails with a specific subject or sender
subject = 'specific_subject'
sender = 'specific_sender'
status, messages = mail.search(None, '(SUBJECT "%s" FROM "%s")' % (subject, sender))

# Loop through the emails and download them as MSG files
for num in messages[0].split():
    status, msg = mail.fetch(num, '(RFC822)')
    raw_message = msg[0][1].decode('utf-8')
    message = email.message_from_string(raw_message)
    filename = 'email_%s.msg' % num
    with open(filename, 'wb') as f:
        f.write(message.as_string().encode('utf-8'))

# Close the IMAP connection
mail.close()
mail.logout()

Note: This script is just an example and may need to be modified to fit your specific needs. Additionally, be aware that downloading large numbers of emails may take a long time and may also exceed Gmail's storage limits.
