I have an email almost 4 years ago, which has Zip file in attachments containing executable jar file. I want to download that file. But, nowadays gmail doesn't allow to send or receive any executable file. Can anybody help me how can I download that zip from from my email?

Proceed at your own risk !!!!

  1. Open the email in your browser
  2. Go to the arrow next to the reply button, and press show original
  3. When the new TAB is opened simply click on "Download original" and rename the file to email.eml!
  4. Now you can open that eml file with almost any email client (Outlook, thunderbird .... )
