They aren't locked in a proprietary chat format; Google stores them in Gmail as any other message. And because chat transcripts look like emails, you can export them as messages if you've configured Gmail to allow IMAP connections. <h2> Download Gmail Chat Logs via IMAP </h2> To access and export Google chat logs using an email program: Make sure IMAP access is enabled for your Gmail account.<br> In your Gmail inbox screen, select Settings (gear icon).
