I do that all the time. If maildir text format works for you:
In gnome:
1. Start gnome-control-center
2. In Online Accounts: Add the Gmail account
3. Start Evolution email client - you should see the gmail account.
4. Copy all the Gmail stuff to email folder "On This Computer"
5. Exit Evolution
6. Your emails are in .local/share/evolution/mail/local
I'm positive there are other ways.
