I’m concerned that the message IDs might differ between downloading an archive and a regular IMAP download, which could result in duplicate emails being downloaded.

Would setting up a Gmail account in the new MailMate and letting MailMate download all the messages again from Gmail really take that long? My guess is it could be done in just a few hours.

As you mentioned, downloading older messages first isn’t very practical.

(@Benny) Maybe there’s an option in MailMate to prioritize downloading new emails first?

Hi,

I have a new system and about 300.000 emails in Gmail. The big question is how to get these into MailMate best.

Since my other system's MM installation is pretty old and has some quirks, I want to start fresh with MM.

Has anyone tried to use Google Takeout to export all Gmail content and import it into MM? Does that work? What if I already downloaded some emails via IMAP? Are duplicates recognized?
