ნუ გაებმებით თაღლითების მახეში. აქ არავინ უნდა მოგთხოვოთ ტელეფონზე დარეკვა, შეტყობინების გაგზავნა ან პირადი მონაცემების გაზიარება. რამე საეჭვოს შემჩნევისას გთხოვთ გვაცნობოთ „დარღვევის მოხსენებით“.

ეს თემა დაარქივებულია. დასვით ახალი კითხვა, თუ დახმარება გესაჭიროებათ.

I have been trying to download all my email from Gmail via IMAP, but I'm only able to download emails back to 6/20/2017, 1 1/2 years ago.

Why Is this? How can I download / Synchronize all my emails (while keeping all their information, including the dates they were sent intact)?

    • I couldn't upload the image of the settings, but the following Synchronization & Storage Settings are selected: 
-  Message Synchronizing
-  Synchronize All Messages
-  Don't Delete Any Messages

Back story (not to bore you): Gmail has a storage limit of 15 Gigs, and my email has already used 15+. I would like to keep all my emails to reference later on my home computer running Thunderbird, and upload them to another gmail account so I can search them on my smart phone. I would like to dates of each email intact.

Have you tried the mbox formatted "takeout" my data gmail offers. it takes days to get it usually, then send you a link to download your mail. See https://takeout.google.com/settings/takeout?pli=1

The zip file they give you has an mbox for each folder/label and you can just "drop" those mbox files with some renaming ( it is better to import them with the import export tools add-on) into the local folders folder in the Thunderbird profile and when Thunderbird is opened the mail is "just there"
