Quite sometime ago (2011?), the classic-rendezvous mailing list, which had
been hosted by a Mailman instance at bikelist.org, was reconstituted as a
Google Group. Just a bunch of old bikies interested in vintage bikes. The
original archives were never imported into the new group. (It might not
have been possible at that time.) I suspect there might be a way to
accomplish that today using some Google API like this:
https://developers.google.com/admin-sdk/groups-migration/v1/reference/archive/insert
Has anyone here attempted such a feat? I have no problem with the Python
side of traversing the necessary mbox archive files, but have no experience
with any of the Google APIs.
Pointers appreciated...
Hmm, I have never used these.
However, before you get very excited see if people can get messages back out of
the archive. A major annoyance for me with GGroups versus mailman is that if I
join a group I cannot download the historical archive. (This is a standard step
for me when I join a mailing list. I hear mailman 3 might be tossing this
facility; I am unimpressed.)
Returning to the original question, it looks like the uppload format is pretty
simple. This page:
https://developers.google.com/admin-sdk/groups-migration/v1/guides/manage-email-migrations#group_migration_media_upload
which is linked to from your link seems to show an example.
