I could import all the mail from a 30GB account Gmail. The gmail accounts with problems are 50 and 110GB (the gmail accounts can have 30, 50, 80, 230, 430, 1TB, 2, 4, 8 and 16TB ). When I have to download 50GB or greater man account I will use Macuncle Converter to convert that MBOX in EML files .

With that solution I can work. I think Apple Mail has a Limit to import inboxes . I work with a lot of gmail accounts in the office and I used to import the emails when the users use all the account same space (30GB average but several are bigger than 50GB)


Thanks you very much.

Hi

I could import the whole MBOX 7.13GB in Safe Mode , I did the same :

  • go to takeout.google.com with my data
  • Chose Mail and Drive options only
  • created the export process and wait the download mail from Gamil
  • After the downloading process , I put the file MBOX in a folder in the desktop.
  • In Mail I chose File menu , Import Inbox, chose the option Mbox and continue. The Import dialog appeared but it doesn't show any detail.
  • I left the computer for an hour and and when I came back the email were imported . The Import Window disappeared .
  • I will test in normal mode

EtreCheck is a FREE simple little diagnostic tool to display the important details of your system configuration and allow you to copy that information to the Clipboard.

Pastebin is a good place to paste the whole report if you capture the URL while there…

Whew, they've changed pastebin & made it harder, but after pasting in, click Create new paste button, then Embed button, then copy the URL...

The important part of the above is between the quote marks...

If pastebin is a problem for you then workable but harder for me to work with...the Note tool on the bottom of this editor's toolbar, as shown in the image, to copy and paste the output from EtreCheck. In a Reply before you click post, look for this to add longer texts...
