Ask HN: Can we save the entire Gmail data offline?

[kanungoparth]

As most of you know by now, Gmail is down. Before today, I had never thought it could go down. This has made me think that I should save all my Gmail data on my PC. Does Google offer that functionality? If not, what is the best way to do that ?

You can use Google Takeout: https://www.google.com/settings/takeout
