mbox2gg.py

Push mails from a local mbox file to Google Groups. Skips mails over 25MiB in size (this is a Google Groups limitation).

Can be used to migrate mails from a Google Workspace user to a group: to do so, use Google Takeout as the user to export mail to an mbox file, then run this script.

Notes

When prompted for OAuth2, you must authenticate be an admin (I've tried with fewer privs!)
