Tips and considerations

• When downloading your email data, you may want to consider the following:
  • The size of your email data: If you have a large amount of email data, it may take some time to download and may require a significant amount of storage space.
  • The format of your email data: If you choose to download your email data in CSV or JSON format, you may need to use a third-party tool to convert it to a format compatible with your email client.
  • The security of your email data: When downloading your email data, make sure to use a secure connection (HTTPS) and consider using a password manager to protect your account credentials.
