Dear All,

I'm in the process of distributing my Google mail across two
accounts. My idea is to have my _current_ account and an _archive_
account both on Google. The archive account will hold all mail up to
some cut-off date and the current account will have everything that's
newer. All mail is also kept on my laptop and normally I read all mail
there. To read mail I use notmuch/emacs, to transfer mbsync. I do not
plan to ever send anything from the archive account. Email should come
in from the current account and if it's old enough should then be synced
to the archive account with that email removed from the current
account. If the email is newer, it should not be removed from the
current account.

Getting the all the email to the laptop is the easy part. Next, I was
planning to find the older mails and move them to a new folder, from
where I would then push them to the archive account. But I suspect that
this would mess up data that mbsync keeps about the emails. I know of
afew and that it has a move mode, but haven't used it before. Is that
what's needed here? Or is there a more straight forward way to do it?

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,

Marko
P.S. I did find a way that's advertised for pulling all emails from one
Google account to another, but I've repeatedly seen errors when trying
to use it.
