How to save Saved Email into a folder on the hard drive

I recently installed Thunderbird on my computer in the hope of being able to transfer saved Gmail emails into a created folder on my hard drive. I used to be able to do this directly in Outlook by multiple-selection of emails, then right-clicking "send as attachment" to myself, then downloading them and saving them all in a prescribed folder.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Well your outlook process would be less than optimal.

Have you tried selecting the mails and simply dragging them to the folder? I suggest you do.

That's all well and good--but only saves one email at a time. When multiple saved mails are selected I get the proverbial circle with diagonal line through it, essentially proclaiming: "No, no, no".

Got something better?

That worked. Thanks, although I got the Blue Screen after completing a transfer into a created folder on my HD and then opening my Gmail through Google Talk. I restarted and tried another export and so far, so good.

Thanks.
