Hello there,
My name is Nesim and today I will try and resolve your problem you have with your question: How to save Gmail To Desktop.
Now perhaps you can save your gmail to desktop BUT You can definitely save or Download emails to your computer. And steps to do this are as follows:
On your computer go to a browser of your choice and then
1. go to gmail inbox,
2. copy the text that is in address bar (html code up there which starts with: "https/
http://www.gmail.com/---"
3. when you've copied that html code (text from address bar), got to your desktop and right click on it, then choose "NEW" and click on "Shortcut"
4. Paste the webpage address you copied into the "Create Shortcut" Dialogue. Click next.
5. Type a name for the shortcut: "Gmail" is the obvious one since you want to save gmail to your desktop and click "Finish".
Final step is to open it and make sure everything works.
Hope this answers your question and if it does make sure to give this answer a like so more people can resolve the same issue they might have.
Best Regards,
Nesim
