Uploading 20 years’ worth of email to iCloud. Hoping for a completion date sometime before 2027.

A screen displays an email application moving 5 out of 117,160 messages, with folders labeled Sent, Social, and Trash visible.

@bryan is this from a gmail export? Or other service? Been thinking about looking into this but haven't got far into it. Curious to see how it goes.

@brett yes it is. I’ll report back. It’s still online, having uploaded about 15,000 after an entire night. I have a gigabit, wired connection. It’s about 11 gb of emails and attachments. Probably makes sense to export your Gmail takeout as smaller files of 1-2 gb each.

@bryan wow! I wonder why it's so slow. Good luck! If I go through with it I think I'll take your advice and try to break it up into smaller takeout files.
