Can GYB help me move a mailbox (non gmail/gsuite) to a gsuite group?

[henry]

I plan to move my platform from a standalone email server into gsuite, and also convert one of our existing email accounts to a collaborative inbox/group.

But I'd like to keep the history of all previous emails in that mailbox to be available to the group members. Would this work??

 - starting point: custome...@mydomain.com on an external mail server

 - move mydomain.com to gsuite

 - open temporary email acct te...@mydomain.com in gsuite

 - import/migrate old custome...@mydomain.com emails to te...@mydomain.com gsuite mailbox

 - open custome...@mydomain.com as a new gsuite collaborative mailbox/group

 - use GYB to move all messages from te...@mydomain.com to custome...@mydomain.com

 - delete temporary email acct te...@mydomain.com in gsuite


I'd appreciate any help you can provide.

Cheers

If you can pull the emails out of the legacy email mailbox as an mbox file then you can use that, otherwise you should look at Google's options for migrating mail:

From all I can gather, gsuite migration tools don't offer options for migrating into a group directly.

And GYB can only read from gmail, so the only option I see is to use a gmail mailbox as a temporary step.

[legacy imap mailbox]---->(gsuite migration)---->[temp gsuite mailbox]------>(GYB)----->[gsuite group]

Is there any other option you can think of?

Thanks very much for your help.
