E-mail duplication on second run
lmateovf opened this issue · 3 comments
Hello!
I backed up an mbox (via Google Takeout) to migrate 89,000 emails from one account to another.
Due to an issue, I interrupted the script's process, and now I want to know if running it again will duplicate the emails.
My command is as follows:
python imap_upload.py --ssl --user=new_account@gmail.com --password="password" --host=imap.gmail.com --port=993 --dry-run --error="errores.mbox" --google-takeout "original.mbox"
Thank you in advance for your help, and for building this great tool!
Running again will duplicate messages. In future, I suggest using the dry run mode.
Hey, thanks for the fast response but judging from this image it seems it is continuing were it stopped:
It shows that is not uploading from the very first mail again... I just started re-running the script...
are you sure it will duplicate emails?
If it is going to duplicate them it's no problem because we have enough storage... Could you refer any tool that handles gmail duplicates? I can search of course, but maybe you can recommend me one...
Perhaps Google Takeout has some kind of feature that avoids duplication?
