[MlMt] Mass importing from Gmail via Takeout?

[Michael Nietzold]

I’m concerned that the message IDs might differ between downloading an 
archive and a regular IMAP download, which could result in duplicate 
emails being downloaded.

Would setting up a Gmail account in the new MailMate and letting 
MailMate download all the messages again from Gmail really take that 
long? My guess is it could be done in just a few hours.

As you mentioned, downloading older messages first isn’t very 
practical.

(@Benny) Maybe there’s an option in MailMate to prioritize downloading 
new emails first?
