Does anyone have any recommendations for tools to mass export all emails and attachments from gmail while keeping the folder structure?

I see there is a ImportExportTools NG plugin had anyone used that?

Google has a thing called “Takeout” that allows you to download all your data.

My understanding is you need to export per folder if you want to keep things organized.

Look into the vault API or the GAM tool

This is probably not ideal. But we migrated from Google workspace to outlook. The outlook clients downloaded all gmail then I archived everything to a .ost file which is an offline storage container for all email.

If you need it, it’s searchable within the mail client. I’ve not yet attempted viewing in Thunderbird though.

I am using Thunderbird. You can drag and drop thr folders to another account like that.
