If you only want to download select message(s), start in your Google Mail by applying a label, for example 'messages to download,' to only the message(s) you want to download.If you are transfering messages to someone else, for example the successor of a project, send the recipient the MBOX file so he or she can access it (If the MBOX file is larger than 25MB, you cannot email it, but you can share it through Google Drive).

You can then use Thunderbird (or Apple Mail on a Mac) to access messages and attachments in the MBOX file and transfer them to another account, if you wish. You can do a one-time transfer of all Google Mail messages or just those in certain label(s) using Google Takeout, which downloads your messages as an MBOX file.
