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.

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.

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.
