Does anyone have any recommendations for tools to mass export all emails and attachments from gmail while keeping the folder structure?

I see there is a ImportExportTools NG plugin had anyone used that?

This is probably not ideal. But we migrated from Google workspace to outlook. The outlook clients downloaded all gmail then I archived everything to a .ost file which is an offline storage container for all email.

If you need it, it's searchable within the mail client. I've not yet attempted viewing in Thunderbird though.
