I am moving and have changed email address to a gmail account. I want to back-up or download or save(whatever is the correct term) to my hard-drive so I can copy to a CD and access it from a new computer. Where do I begin? I don't use clouds or any other new-age method of storing data.

There is an add-on to TB which allows import and export of emails in various formats to a separate storage medium (external disk, thumb drive, etc.).

The instructions on how to download and install it can be found at http://barryduggan.info/exportMail.php
