How to export your email data from Gmail.

1. Go to your Google account on myaccount.google.com, this is Google’s account dashboard that provides you with access to all your data on the service.

2. Go to Data and Personalization on the left panel.

3. Once there, head to ‘Download, delete or make a plan for your data’

4. Click on download your data.

5. Once there, you can export your data. Now, Google allows you o export literally everything. If you want email only, you’ll need to deselect everything that’s not Gmail.

6. Select how you want your data to be delivered. Google will either generate a link via Email, a folder in Google Drive, Dropbox or OneDrive once you configure it.

7. In a few minutes to hours (Depending on how much data you have), you’ll have your email data to do with as you wish.
