What is a good gmail extractor?

[Baitball Blogger]

I would like it to pull whatever is in the Inbox and place it in a prescribed subdirectory.

I already tried mail downloader attachment and it didn't work.

1. a fresh install of mozilla thunderbird should do the trick.

then you can keep it organized how you want locally. or outlook if you prefer microsoft products, which i don't. you should be able to just type your email address in the new account wizard and ba-da-bing thunderbird will figure out the server and download everything in your inbox that hasn't already been downloaded. since it's a new install that will be everything.

then you can organize at your leisure offline.
