Or you can just use Google Takeout: https://takeout.google.com
Deselect everything, select "Mail", create export, wait until it's done, and then download the zip.

When you export Mail with Takeout, Google dumps your entire history into a huge .mbox file. If you have a 20-year-old account, you're downloading tens of gigabytes of raw text data, headers, and metadata just to get to the images. Once you have that huge file, you still have to figure out a way to extract and decode the image attachments from the raw email text.
Mail Memories just gives you what you want: the photos.
Non-technical users don't want to deal with mbox files no matter how many scripts someone recommends. And shell shells scripts...
I made this to bridge the gap. I wanted a utility that handles the protocol mess locally, avoids downloading gigabytes of metadata, skips the cloud, and just gives you your own photos back.
