Location of Gmail files
I can't locate the directory that contains all my Gmail files. No luck with
Google or a search through directories with a file manager (Total Commander). Anyone know? I'm referring to the message, letter, memo, etc. files. TIA -- I love a good meal! That's why I don't cook. |

If you are reading your Gmail messages in an email program such as Thunderbird, Outlook Express, or Outlook, the location of the files depends on which email client you are using. You have not told us which. -- Kind regards Ralph |

Maybe the messages aren't stored as separate files, but inside a database file. Or you're using IMAP so the client just shows what is up on the server (unless you configured your local e-mail program to locally store your IMAP folders). Where the messages are store depends on the e-mail program, and how you configured it. If you are using for e-mail the same program you used here as your NNTP client, Xnews, does that even do e-mail? If you are using Google's webmail client, you don't get any files to store locally. You're using a web browser to view what messages are stored online in your account. |
