Hi, If you are putting in a request to the update API to allow migrating data into a Google Group, I'd like to request that there also be an update to be able to migrate data out of the group. If we decide to close a group, say for a project that is completed, and don't want the group around anymore (No need to send emails there anymore), we would like to be able to download the group content for archiving it locally.
But to throw in my 2 cents for the question posed, when we migrated over I used Mutt to "bounce" the emails from an IMAP shared folder into the google group. This didn't work 100% because some "contributors" aren't in the company anymore and so the group rejected those emails. I suppose if I had adjusted the settings before hand it could have worked, but it wasn't urgent and I was mostly just testing it. Of course, everyone in that group (the email support team) then got the emails that were "bounced" to the group as well, which was a bit annoying.
