For me it stops at number 512 items. What to do?
Is it some restriction of spreadsheet of the script itself?

You need to edit this row

emails.push([msgs[j].getBody().replace(
  /<.*?>/g, '\n').replace(
  /^\s*\n/gm, '').replace(
  /^\s*/gm, '').replace(/\s*\n/gm,
  '\n')]);

Just add something like this

emails.push([
  msgs[j].getBody().replace(/<.*?>/g, '\n').replace(/^\s*\n/gm, '').replace(
    /^\s*/gm, '').replace(/\s*\n/gm, '\n'),
  msgs[j].getSubject(),
  msgs[j].getFrom()
]);
