Feature Request – Header Cleanup #358

Open ArcoForzato opened 2 years ago

ArcoForzato commented 2 years ago

I confirm I have upgraded to the latest GYB release from https://github.com/jay0lee/got-your-back/releases and I still have this issue. I confirm I am typing the command as described in the GAM Wiki at https://github.com/jay0lee/got-your-back/wiki

Full steps to reproduce the issue:

  1. Export Inbox: gyb --email abc@xyz.com --service-account --action backup
  2. Restore Inbox to another account: gyb --email archive@xyz.com --action restore --local-folder "C:\GAMADV-XTD3\GYB-GMail-Backup-abc@xyz.com" --service-account --label-prefix "ABC's Emails"

Expected outcome (what are you trying to do?): Restore ABC's emails to archive@xyz.com

Actual outcome (what errors or bad behavior do you see instead?):

restoring 15 messages (74/28498) ERROR: 400: Expected a single 'From' header. Skipping message restore. ERROR: 400: Expected a single 'From' header. Skipping message restore. restoring 17.1mb message (75/28498)

A Header Cleanup feature would be greatly appreciated!

This feature has existed for a while now. See:

https://github.com/GAM-team/got-your-back/releases/tag/v1.55

When --cleanup is specified GYB should detect duplicate headers. I haven't tested but you may need --cleanup-from also.
