Default 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

memo, etc. files.


Oh, it's a secret local e-mail program. Okay. Come on back when you
decide to tell us which e-mail program you are using.

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.
