Bulk email download using GAM

[Michael SB]

Hello

Is it possible to add a super admin account as a delegate to about 1000 GMail accounts, and then use GAM to bulk download the mailboxes of each account?

If not, what options are there for downloading multiple users mailboxes prior to the de-provisioning process, without manually archiving each account?

Many thanks

Mike

Run this in a bulk.

I'm assuming it will work just like doing it for a single user.

How is it exported? In a CSV file?

However...

For your purpose, I would instead use GYB to archive Gmail content.

Just like GAM it's a project by Jay.

+ 1 to Kim's comment. Email Audit API was never terribly reliable or quick. Use GYB and/or Google Takeout.
