Hm....

There is a way

For sure

All I want is an archive of all my years of emails.

Idk bout that 1

i know google lets you download all the data it stores on you, not sure if that includes emails

Probably a way tho, search it up

"Backup emails"

That’s what I’ve been doing the past few hours and yesterday lol

Yeah, I downloaded my google data and it does include ‘Mail’ but the files are kind of weird, I’m not really sure how to open them and I thought it’d be better to get another type of backup in case.

You could download thunderbird or something, have it pull all your emails in and then somehow convert the mail files it uses into normal messages. Or save them one by one - there is probably a plugin for that.

Oh yeah, I downloaded thunderbird but wasn’t sure if it’d mess up my accounts or something if I connected them to it.

Like, does it sort of mean I won’t be able to use my accounts on gmail if I c9nnect those emails to thunderbird?

you one of them huwhite coats

You mean a scientist?

Nah, you can use it just fine

thunderbird works just fine

and no you can totally use both

Don't worry, lads. I'm here

Does thunderbird work with Google Bing?

Imagine it like this, your emails sit on some google server, and what gmail and thunderbird do is that they access that server and read the mails. The difference is gmail is automated and only for that server, thunderbird you have to set up but it works for just about anything you tell it to.
Both read the mails and don't do anything funny unless you tell them to delete stuff.

mikey, what happened to your beautiful shade of dark purple

Nitro ran out

oof mikey

oof

Well, someone very generously got it for me, so I'm not so fussed

Oh and of course Thunderbird can copy your emails to a local storage which is something gmail.com doesn't do because why, all you need in life is google cloud.

give google cloud your house keys

@Vander Loonéy was the generous donor

ew

oh the smiley guy

Ah, thanks for explaining Xaverius that’s precisely the information I was looking for. 😃

i started using thunderbird cause im switching over to tor

using tor for gmail is painful

So it's Prime day and I want to see what kind of deals they have on speakers.
