Microsoft has actually made a awesome new tool for this. Download all the cool new “Live” software. They have a new light email program which is nice.

Imtiaz, I really don’t know how ot answer your question because I would need to know what type of format you want your email to be in. text or .txt files or .html files etc.?

I do beleive Outlook actually allows exporting into .txt and .html files. So I would look that functionality up before trying something else.

That pop3 service is actually FREE! I use it every day from three other accounts.

Now Hotmail or Live Mail has even stopped allowing us to pull our email into outlook. Thats a service we would have to pay for. So in order to us Live email you have to see their advertisements.

Where Gmail doesn’t make you do that. But they probably have reserved the right to do so because it is their email server(s) after all.

And they may eventually want to maximize their profit… but not realize they’ll loose users… which may actually cause them to loose money. Which would end up being a balancing act between maximizing click through rates and operating expenses for the Gmail services.
