Can't restore to a different mailbox

[beamends]

Hi - I'm using the pip installed latest version on Ubuntu. i've just taken my first full backup and im trying to restore it to a different (new) gmail account. I've got the creds etc for both.

I'm attempting to do the restore using the following command:

gwbackupy --credentials-filepath restore-account-creds.json --workdir /mnt/gmail gmail restore --restore-deleted --email test-backup@gmail.com --to-email test-recovery@gmail.com

I get the following output but nothing is restored.....am i doing something wrong?

thanks!

What happen if remove --restore-deleted parameter?

gwbackupy --credentials-filepath restore-account-creds.json --workdir /mnt/gmail gmail restore --email test-backup@gmail.com --to-email test-recovery@gmail.com

gwbackupy --credentials-filepath restore-account-creds.json --workdir /mnt/gmail gmail restore
--email test-backup@gmail.com --to-email test-recovery@gmail.com

@beamends if possible, please test it. Within a few days, the package will have a new release version.

pip3 uninstall gwbackupy
pip3 install https://github.com/smartondev/gwbackupy/archive/72-implement-and-fix-gmail-restore-to-another-account.zip

Use --restore-missing parameter to restore different account.

Please note that the issue #26 still persists, causing repeated restorations to result in redundant email restorations in the destination account.

fixed in 0.11.0
