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.
I don’t use tags alot and neither do the users I would migrate
I am not sure if this is possible but at the moment they just have gmail accounts but would move to a email with a custom domain - Im tempted to use Yunohost but worried about running my own email server and the responsibility that would come with that but also the size of the email accounts, Id also prefer that Yunohost had scheduled Backups to an external location in place.
Never heard of yunohost, but… definitely not worth managing your own email server. That shit is essentially a full time job. And it’s forever ongoing full time job, with 24/365 on call type job if emails are mission critical. Doesn’t matter how much other hosts are charging, it’s worth using third party email service.
Totally agree. No fun being a small guy in a dugout and a rifle when the spam and malware arms race is bombing you with nukes.
