Does anyone have any recommendations for tools to mass export all emails and attachments from gmail while keeping the folder structure?

I see there is a ImportExportTools NG plugin had anyone used that?

offlineimap and a few others do this. You don't need to search for a Google specific tool but the tags might not map that well to folders, though if you treat them as folders it's certainly imported. These tools are designed to take your (full or partial) mailbox on the go so you can work offline, hence they support incremental bidirectional syncing. Tools like offlineimap see quite some use so they should work as expected.
