Has anyone used this to migrate off of Gmail / Google Workspace? Someday I'll be able to do it...
- CharlesW 2y agoYes, I used imapsync to migrate from Google Workspace to iCloud+, worked great. This was the very helpful guide I followed: https://blah.cloud/miscellaneous/migrating-google-workspaces-to-icloud-custom-domain/ https://blah.cloud/miscellaneous/migrating-google-workspaces...
- layer8 2y agoDoing that there's one issue I ran into, which is that GMail has a mail size limit of 25 MB whereas iCloud Mail only allows 20 MB, and I have a nontrivial number of emails with attachments just in between. If someone has a good solution for this other than manually removing or somehow shrinking (e.g. images) attachments, I'd be interested.
- CharlesW 2y agoIIRC I used the imapsync --maxsize option, then hand-processed the relatively few (in my case) emails which had larger attachments. In my Google Workspace mail, I believe I searched emails using larger:19M has:attachment.
- dclaw 2y agoAbsolutely, ms365 too. Definitely a worthwhile tool, and if you have a big job or do it more than once a year you should purchase it.
- birdman3131 2y agoLess migrating and more syncing it to an mxroute server so I can get some space back. The one caveat about this. Gmail has a ~2gb/day limit on transfers so it can take a while.
