is there any way for me to transfer email from my ipad to another device without using WiFi?

Is there any way for me to transfer a few thousand emails from my iPad to another device without using WiFi?

In the process of cleaning up email on my MacBook using Mailstrom, all of my old Gmail was instantly deleted. I checked my iPad and saw mail disappearing, so quickly shut off WiFi and the deleting stopped.

I want to save all that old mail, but don't want to turn WiFi back on to do so, assuming mail will be deleted. Is there any way to do this - other than doing a screenshot of each message?

Thank you.

As described, your email messages were (or have been) deleted from your Gmail account - and message deletion from the iPad was being synchronised via IMAP.

You best approach to recovering your deleted mail messages is to recover your email at source. This Google Mail page describes the recovery process:

Thanks- but this happened over 30 days ago, and actually, as I recall, when the messages were abruptly deleted (?via Mailstrom?) they did not appear in Trash, so they couldn't be recovered at the time.

The odd part about this is that I didn't intend to delete ALL the mail - was going through the process slowly so as to save important messages. Not sure why the ALL disappeared so suddenly. I've contacted Mailstrom.
