Migrating emails from Gmail to new email server - Lemmy
lemmy.ml
I came across mention of IMAPSync and Larch as tools to move emails out of Gmail to a new email account. Does anyone have any experience using these? I have a family’s worth of email gmail accounts all of which are running out of space and will need to be moved to a new email provider. They would of course all like to keep their historical sent and recieved emails.

    Imapsync works well, have uses it hundreds of times on massive accounts. Not with Gmail specifically though. I’d imagine you would lose labels.

      There aren’t that many providers who have gmail-like labelling functionality, but luckily Gmail serves labels as folders over IMAP. May cause a lot of duplicates, though.

      Cheers. Im going to have a go at that. Ive tried Google…Takeout which got me emails into Firefox but family are demanding and want them in IMAP. Honestly im worried about how many GBs of Storage I am going to have ( And have to backup)
