Copying messages
The most simple method is to just drak a remote folder over the local folder. This will copy all of the messages from the remote server to local folder on your computer.
Notes
- The copying procedure can take a while in case you have many (or large) emails on your account on the server.
- Google (Gmail) probably has some daily transfer limits per user. Exceeding the limits can lock your email client's access to Gmail for some time.
