Default Pull text from Gmail

I think you can download email from gmail using the POP3 protocol.

You could use a POP3 client like fetchmail to download the email and
send it to a an MTA for delivery to a local mailbox. You could then
parse the local mailbox with the tool of your choice, or write a script
to do it.


Thanks for that.

I used to download Gmail into Thunderbird, but if I can download it into
my main mail client, Turnpike, which only does Pop3, I think I can then
export as a text file.
