Migration API question
Mally Mclane
Is this forum also for Email Migration API?
We're currently doing end-to-end testing of our migration plans and
have come across a relatively major issue around the Email Migration
API:
* A lot our users have complex folder structures, e.g.
Students
-> Undergraduates
--> Exams
---> Successful
With the email migration API, we don't seem to be able to mimic the
above structure. We can only assign one flat label to it. I.e. we'd
end up with one large label of
Students\Undergraduates\Exams\Successful
rather than nested labels mimicking the structure.
Are we seeing the correct behaviour from the API?

Thanks - I must have missed that.
I appreciate this isn't the forum, but I'm really not sure how to
achieve a successful migration now - The migration tool doesn't do the
labels, crafting it ourselves using the API doesn't do the labels and
if we do it using imapsync or something, we can only do 500mb a
day...... Some of users have upwards of 20GB....

Tried and exhausted Google Support and the migration specialist, but thanks for the pointers!

You have to create the labels with the `gdata.apps.emailsettings.client.EmailSettingsClient` object before you upload the emails. You also have to create each level one at a time. Below is an example in Python. After you do that then you just specify the full label ('mylabel/stuff/magic') when you upload your emails with the migration API.
from gdata.apps.emailsettings.client import EmailSettingsClient
if __name__ == "__main__":
client = EmailSettingsClient(domain="mydomain.com")
client.ClientLogin(email="ad...@mydomain.com",
password="mypassword",
# The source can be anything you want.
source="MyDomain-TestApp-v1")
# Create nested labels for the testa...@mydomain.com
#
# mylabel
# stuff
# magic
client.create_label("testaccount", "mylabel")
client.create_label("testaccount", "mylabel/stuff")
client.create_label("testaccount", "mylabel/stuff/magic")

Hi Mally,Have you tried opening a support case for that at http://support.google.com/a/bin/request.py ?I'm confident someone from the Google Apps deployment team can share the best practices.
