How To Download Gmail Messages

[Understated]

Hi,

I'm in a dispute at the moment with a company I did some work for, the bank asked me to send them a copy of all the emails we've exchanged, however I'm not exactly sure how do download emails from gmail?

I'm sure there has to be some kind of 'save' button but I can't find it. I need to download/save in order to produce them. I can print screen / cntrl+print but that would simply print everything on display like the sidebars etc. I also can't forward them as there are well over 50 emails exchanged (don't think they'd accept forwards anyway.)

Any ideas? There is a way to download even forum messages here by simply clicking 'download' so there must be a way to do the same for emails.

Thanks!

You can prnt screen, paste it into paint, crop the area which you want to show, open a new paint, paste the cropped area and save it.

There might be an easier way, but that's how I've been doing things like that for the past couple years.

I don't understand, so there is absolutely no way to 'save' emails?!

WOW! That is lunacy. I can't print screen / crop 50 emails.

There's actually a print option towards the upper-rightish part of the e-mail. Shows how much I use gmail...

So by "saving" the email, you mean you wish to save a hard copy of the email on your hard drive as a text file? If so, I don't believe there is a way to do that. Your only option is to print screen or print out the email on your printer.

Yup, pretty much the part that contains the text into some kind of word document/viewer.

I know you can print/print-save but that would show everything on the actual screen not just the body of text which is what I'm after.

Doing that only prints out just the e-mail, not everything on the screen. Unless I'm misunderstanding what you're saying

Can you sync the gmail account with something like Thunderbird and save the file from there?

Not sure if the compliance allows that..?

If you use a program like Thunderbird on the computer, you can drag all emails into a folder on your computer. I keep receipts that way. Called local folders

I have Aquamail on phone- I get Gmail through that.
You can copy, send, share, and print as options. If you have Dropbox or something similar, you can transfer there.

TMO sends receipts via text. I copy text message and paste it into email. Send it to another email account (I have 4). I then either save the email as a receipt, or paste it into a TMO receipt folder.
