Well, "surprisingly" enough google is really rate-limiting me here, as I try to sync via IMAP on Thunderbird.
Anyone got tips to move 20k emails to a new IMAP account without me dying of old age in the meantime?
Google really doesn't want me to even use another email client. Little do they know I'm gonna delete all of their precious emails when I'm done. HA!
#degoogle
tried: imapsync, imap-backup (can't use for various boring reasons)
