How to download emails from Gmail account

Gmail users can keep their emails offline on their devices as separate files. They can do this directly from the Gmail site. The emails will be downloaded separately and you will have to download the mail on your PC or laptop.

You will need a desktop mail client in order to open the mail. The same option is not available for smartphones. You might be wondering what is the use of downloading an email on your PC or laptop. Well, there are multiple things that can come out of it.

Once you have downloaded the email, you can send it as an attachment via another mail. The biggest benefit is that the mail can live offline on your hard disk or SSD. You can also save on precious cloud storage space by downloading and keeping emails in your local storage.

-On your computer, go to Gmail.
-Open the email.
-Click More.
-Click Download message.

Sending these saved emails as attachments is also a simple process. Here’s how you can do it:

-Click Compose.
-At the bottom, click Attach files.
-Select the file and click Open.
-Click Send.

You can also automatically forward Gmail messages to another account from within the platform. You can either choose to forward all of your new messages to another email address, or only forward certain types of messages. However, it should be noted that when your new messages are forwarded, messages from spam won’t be included.

Here’s how to Turn on automatic forwarding on Gmail:

-On your computer, open Gmail using the account you want to forward messages from. You can only forward messages for a single Gmail address, and not an email group or alias.
-In the top right, click Settings Settings and then See all settings.
-Click the Forwarding and POP/IMAP tab.
-In the “Forwarding” section, click Add a forwarding address.
-Enter the email address you want to forward messages to.
-Click Next and then Proceed and then OK.
-A verification message will be sent to that address. Click the verification link in that message.
-Go back to the settings page for the Gmail account you want to forward messages from, and refresh your browser.
-Click the Forwarding and POP/IMAP tab.
-In the “Forwarding” section, select Forward a copy of incoming mail to.
-Choose what you want to happen with the Gmail copy of your emails. We recommend Keep Gmail’s copy in the Inbox.
