Error when restoring from MBOX file

[AnandJhaveri]

Full steps to reproduce the issue:

1. Use Google Takeout to backup file from my old email id
2. Use GYB to restore mbox file

Here's the command line:

C:\GYB> gyb --email [e-mail] --action restore-mbox --local-folder "C:\Users\anand\Downloads\googledata\Takeout\Mail"

Using backup folder C:\Users\anand\Downloads\googledata\Takeout\Mail

Restoring from 18.74gb file C:\Users\anand\Downloads\googledata\Takeout\Mail\All mail Including Spam and Trash.mbox...

Expected outcome (what are you trying to do?):
I am expecting to restore old emails downloaded via Google Takeout into my new email id

Actual outcome (what errors or bad behavior do you see instead?):
Traceback (most recent call last):%
File "gyb.py", line 2767, in
File "gyb.py", line 2486, in main
File "gyb.py", line 749, in callGAPI

File "gyb.py", line 1696, in restored_message
sqlite3.IntegrityError: datatype mismatch
[12844] Failed to execute script 'gyb' due to unhandled exception!

Please help to resolve. Thanks.

Anand.

+1 to the issue.

Using:
C:\GYB>gyb --email [e-mail] --action restore-mbox --label-restored 202306 --memory-limit 1000000 --local-folder "c:\GYB\base"

Restoring from 26.26gb file c:\GYB\base\All mail Including Spam and Trash-011.mbox...

IMPORTANT: I am restoring mbox file exported by google takeout from my personal account. Accoring to docs this is possible.

I know that python is running in backgroud. Could be something related to package versions?

This procedure solved my problem

It looks like you are using a regular GYB backup folder to restore mbox files. Can you create an empty folder, place just the mbox files there and try again?
