Hello!

We have a few shared accounts, that would be much better as groups. In most cases I just delete the account and make the group and go on. In this case we want to save the message from the account to the groups archive. 

I found the google group migration API.  So im hoping gam has this feature and i just could not find it


Thanks!

GAM does not do data migration but you can use GYB for this:

Ross,

 I don't believe your version does full export of a mailbox and then re-import via Groups Migration API, this is what GYB is doing:

Thank you both!

I got it working with GYB. Found it a little bit after posting.
