Hello,

I was doing a backup with some terminated users and restoring it to another user's mailbox of the terminated users I backed up. The issue I ran into is that all the messages went into the user's inbox with the label I gave attached to it which is fine but I would like to have all the restored messages in only the label I created and not in the label and inbox. Is there a way to have the restored messages in the inbox removed while keeping the label attached? Not sure if this something that is more GYB or GAM related if it is possible for what I need to do. The command I used when restoring the emails was gyb --email us...@domain.com --action restore --label-restored <Label_Name> --local-folder <File_Location> --service-account --debug > File_Location\File_Name.csv

Thank you,

Jay Lee

Try:

gam user <email> modify messages query "in:inbox has:userlabels" removelabels Inbox

If the numbers look good add the doit and maxtomodify parameters:

Thank you so much for the reply. For the maxtomodify paramater what number is it that I exactly am wanting to enter in? Do I use your command gam user <email> modify messages query "in:inbox has:userlabels" removelabels Inbox then run it again with doit including the number it gives me from the command I entered? So sorry for the silly question I'm still learning quite a bit with GAM.

Max to modify just prevents Gam from doing more damage if you make a mistake. Yes, you can just set it to the number returned, yes.
