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.

Bitten is my tool of choice.

You might consider using Google Takeout to export the emails to an mbox file, and then importing that into your new mail server.

When I did it, I did it manually with thunderbird, which is a great way to delete clutter meanwhile
Just select 1000 emails at a time and drop them in another IMAP server folder

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)
