When I was trying to restore my database to my new email account, I typed in the password for the auth wrong, and the error message: "ERROR: Invalid credentials, cannot login to the gmail service. Please check your login and password or xoauth token." 

So i tried using the --renew-xoauth2 function, and then inputted my new gmail account with the correct password when trying to use the restore function, but it doesn't restore. Now it results in this when I try the complete restore: 

Restore emails in gmail account ________@gmail.com 
Read email info from ~/gmvault-db gmvault-db. 
Total number of elements to restore 0. 
Got all emails id left restore. Still 0 emails to do. 

In actuality, there's ~45000 files saved on my computer in the gmvault-db folder from my old account! 

Help please! How do I restore these files to the new account?

How about deleting your oauth? Found here => http://gmvault.org/in_depth.html#authentication

After the first authentication for a given account, the XOAuth token is stored in $HOME/.gmvault or %HOME% (c:\users\MYUSER) and will be used for consequent authentications.
