Ask HN: Importing email from Gmail to Fastmail
12 by asterslash | 6 comments on Hacker News.
Hello, I'm currently migrating my email account to Fastmail from Gmail and I hit an interesting problem. Fastmail seems to have a great import tool to migrate your emails but being a privacy-conscious person I started to wonder if it was possible for an app-password from Gmail (I have two-step verification enabled) to limit its access to IMAP. I don't currently distrust Fastmail but I would be feeling better if I knew they couldn't mess with my Account Settings on Google (or gather my data from other services). From what I could gather online there aren't granular permissions nor official information pointing to any IMAP-only app-password. Given the stated problem I started to look for other solutions like imapsync but I currently have around 15GB of emails and it seems Google throttles downloads and uploads so it would take around 7 days, at least, to import all my email to Fastmail (and having to download them to a machine which would then upload to their servers). Anyone here had a similar problem? How did you approach it?
