label-restored not applying on restore-group action #417

Closed bfourgeaud closed 1 year ago

bfourgeaud commented 1 year ago

Labels are not created on restored emails for groups with the flag --label-restored and --action restore-group

Full steps to reproduce the issue:

  1. Create a folder /archives containing a .mbox file
  2. Run the backup command to backup these emails to a google group : gyb --email [group-email] --service-account --use-admin [admin-email] --action restore-group --local-folder ./archives --label-restored "ARCHIVE"

Expected outcome (what are you trying to do?): The imported emails should be labelled ARCHIVE

Actual outcome (what errors or bad behavior do you see instead?): No label is applied. I tried it with already existing labels and new Labels. Same outcome.

This is working as expected, the Google Groups Migration API does not support applying group labels to migrated messages, that can only be used when restoring to a Gmail mailbox.
