Migrate 200+GB emails (just 5 accounts) from google to my DA server

[TestUser]

hey all..
i think the title of this post says it all...
i have a client who wants to go away from google....
is there some "trick" or something to do this easy?
Or do i need to setup IMAP accounts and first download to my computer emails...
then connect to my DA server and move emails there?
This will take... forever..
Any shortcuts?
Will google givme anny headaces?

it design for sync between 2 imap server.
You can manual run command by

imapsync \
 --host1 imap.truc.org --user1 foo --password1 secret1 \
 --host2 imap.trac.org --user2 bar --password2 secret2

To synchronize imap account "foo" on "imap.truc.org" to imap account "bar" on "imap.trac.org" with foo password "secret1" and bar password "secret2":

for manpage you can found here

imapsync(1) - Linux man page

imapsync is a good tool because it reduces the amount of data transferred by not transferring a given message if it is already on both sides.

linux.die.net

also with command

imapsync --help
