MBOX Support Feature Request

[TristanPutman]

Would love to see support for mbox files which is what google gives you when you use their "takeout" feature to download all your data.

Are you saying that instead of fetching all messages from the Gmail API, you would prefer to import messages directly from an MBOX file? Is this because you would not need to set up an OAuth client in the Google Developer Console, or is it because it's faster when dealing with a large number of messages?

[TristanPutman]

Faster. I have a 50gb mailbox and using the Google Takeout feature I have it all downloaded locally in fifty separate 1gb MBOX files.
