Exporting Gmail emails to EML files manually requires configuring an email client like Mozilla Thunderbird. You need to first install Thunderbird, then set up your Gmail account via IMAP. Once the setup is complete, you can select the emails you want to export and save them individually as EML files. However, this manual method has its challenges, including the need for technical know-how, the time-consuming process of selecting and saving emails one by one, and the risk of data loss or incomplete backups.

To simplify this process, the Cigati Gmail Backup Tool offers an efficient solution. It allows you to export Gmail emails directly to EML files with just a few clicks. The tool also supports batch exporting, ensuring that large volumes of emails can be saved quickly without manual intervention. Additionally, the tool ensures data integrity and offers options to filter specific emails, making the export process much easier and safer.
