my gmail account is full, most of the space is emails. I tried to download them through “takeout” and it has an option that says hey let’s split this up into 2GB chunks. And you select that and it sends you one 12GB .mbox file regardless. The 12GB download keeps failing and now it says you’ve already downloaded these files too many times. Like gimme a break. Anyone have any experience with this? Any ways to get around the download failing or to force it to send you smaller chunks? Suchhhh a pain.
I hope to move to a different mail thing at some boint. I know y’all are gonna tell me don’t use gmail dont use gmail lol.
Thanks!

If it’s a Unix mbox file you’ll probably be fine - that format hasn’t changed in decades and is just as unlikely to change in the foreeeable future. There may be an additional step involved if you want to import it to, say, Thunderbird 2032.
Thank you!!
