I want to do some analysis on the emails I have sent and received in Gmail to compare it to other forms of communication. I am interested in things like average or median email length or the number of emails in a conversation.
I am trying to figure out the best way to get my emails from Gmail into a parsable format (e.g. a plain text format or ideally XML, but that is a reach) so that I can write a script to parse them. So far I am stumped. I assume it would begin with getting a desktop email client and downloading them with IMAP, but even then I am not sure how I would go about actually getting them into a parsable file.
This looks like will do just fine. I tried googling for download gmail, but didn't think to try backup gmail. Thanks. – Justin – 2014-03-02T03:03:42.580
