While Gmail, the Google email service, is extremely reliable, you still may want to download important business correspondence to your computer's disk drive. Gmail Backup is a program made specifically for this purpose, but it is buggy and not compatible with Windows 7, as it has not been updated since 2009. As of this writing, the best way to save Google email messages is with your desktop email program, since Gmail uses the standard POP3 mail system. Thunderbird, which is free, and Microsoft Outlook, which is included when you purchase Microsoft Office, are both easy to configure for Gmail.
1.
Launch Gmail and log in with your usual username and password. Wait a second or two for your mailbox to open.
2.
Click the icon of a gear on a white background located at the right-hand corner of the mailbox page to open the main settings prompt. Select 'Settings' in the pull-down menu that appears.
3.
Click the 'Forwarding and POP/IMAP' tab in the Settings page. It is the fifth tab from the left.
4.
Scroll down to the Pop Download section of the page, which is the second section from the top. Check either the top radio button marked 'Enable POP for All Mail (even mail that's already been downloaded)' or the one right under it marked 'Enable POP for Mail that Arrives from Now On' depending upon whether you want to download and save old messages to your computer.
5.
Select the option that is most convenient for you in the pull-down menu under the radio boxes that is marked: 'When messages are accessed with POP.' Keeping the default option of 'Keep Gmail's Copy in the Inbox' is usually the most convenient choice. Alternately, you can choose 'Mark Gmail's Copy as Read,' 'Archive Gmail's Copy' or 'Delete Gmail's Copy,' depending on how you want the copy that remains in your Gmail box to be handled.

Click 'Close' in the test message box followed by 'Finish' in the main dialog box to return to the main Outlook window.

Tips
- You will receive up to 400 old emails each time you send and receive if you selected the option to enable POP for old emails in Step 4. Repeat the process until you have downloaded all emails up to and including the current date.
- Note that junk and regular emails, as well as sent mails, are downloaded into the same folder. You can set up subfolders and move each type of mail to its own subfolder, and you can set rules that direct all future emails into the subfolder of your choosing.
