400: Invalid label name - invalidArgument #350

Closed mansj closed 2 years ago

mansj commented 2 years ago

I am running this command, on a 24GB large backup from G Suite:

bin/gyb/gyb --email myaddress@gmail.com --action restore-mbox --local-folder ~/Desktop/

After 24 hours and 30.6% I get this message:

Creating label Muted
400: Invalid label name - invalidArgument

And the program crashes/finishes so I can't continue.

Any advice?

Muted is a reserved label name that you can't restore or use with Gmail API. Try adding:

--extra-reserved-labels muted

to your command to tell GYB not to try and create/use the label. I've added this for the next version also.

Wow, thank you for the quick response, and it did indeed work to add the reserved label. Thank you.
