I came across mention of IMAPSync and Larch as tools to move emails out of Gmail
to a new email account. Does anyone have any experience using these? I have a
family’s worth of email gmail accounts all of which are running out of space and
will need to be moved to a new email provider. They would of course all like to
keep their historical sent and recieved emails.

There aren’t that many providers who have gmail-like labelling functionality, but luckily Gmail serves labels as folders over IMAP. May cause a lot of duplicates, though.
Cheers. Im going to have a go at that. Ive tried Google…Takeout which got me emails into Firefox but family are demanding and want them in IMAP. Honestly im worried about how many GBs of Storage I am going to have ( And have to backup)

Imapsync works well, have uses it hundreds of times on massive accounts. Not with Gmail specifically though. I’d imagine you would lose labels.
