Sorry I know an un-necessary question, but just curious.

Why do you want to save emails as text files ?

You want to take a backup of emails ? Or need in text format itself ?

@aditya1987

In that case, why not the thunderbird portable ?

You can get it from - *portableapps.com

You can install it in a removable media or HDD itself. Then download all emails.

When you want to move it, just copy the whole folder, thats it. No worries like import-export, settings copy etc.
