If I could reliably transfer my gmail legacy freebie grandfather thing account without it taking 7 to 11 days of API rate limited transfer at 100% luck, I would get my email out of there. Alas.
- eps 5y agoIf it's a one-time thing, then even it taking weeks is quite acceptable.

- breakingcups 5y agoWould Google Takeout not suffice in this, maybe after some post-processing?
- gsreenivas 5y agoA workaround is to set up a desktop email client - allow it to fully sync, then use the desktop email client to export your email and import to another account. Google rate limiting and restricting access to your own data is pretty awful. They are similarly terrible about OAuth permissions for 3rd parties - some companies are allowed to export data on behalf of customers while others are not.
- denton-scratch 5y agoDoing this via an email client is going to be really slow. Use something like fetchmail.
