I would like to export email between 2 persons (me and someone else) conversation we had since the last year. I need to have them in a Word document to be able to share it. It should be in a readable format.

Is there a way to do it without copy-pasting?

In Gmail, there is no action that can "export" email. You can transfer the email to another email client that maybe can do this but with Gmail, it's not possible.

EDIT:

  • Ivo: Connecting Gmail with Outlook can be found in your Gmail settings. One option would be if save the email (in Outlook) as html and open it in Word as the html formatting will be a lot more readable

He would have to get it into Outlook using pop or imap and then export it (if possible at all) – Ivo Flipse♦ Feb 10 '10 at 13:56
That's what I thought also since it's not possible with Gmail. Good comment Ivo! – r0ca Feb 10 '10 at 13:57
Humm ok, any steps of how to do it? I might be able to find on Internet how to connect Gmail with pop3 but humm when in Outlook how can I export them in Word? :S – Daok Feb 10 '10 at 14:02
In Gmail's settings, in POP/IMAP Transfer, you can transfer your email to another account or even enable POP and setup your gmail account on a third-party client like Outlook... You will find the setup instructions there. Then, in Outlook (I have 2010), I right-click on my email, then COPY and I just paste it or I print it... I hope that's the answer you are looking for. – r0ca Feb 10 '10 at 14:07
