GYB does not support mbox --> group restoration

[TimetravelerDD]

It seems GYB does not support mbox --> group restoration (at least according to this post from 2014)

If so, would it be possible to support it? I think it would be quite useful if the original account doesn't exist anymore but only the mbox backup from Google takeout/vault.

Alternatively a feature to convert mbox to GYB and vice versa would be awesome as well.

Looking forward to hear your feedback!

Cheers, Timetraveler

GYB does not support mbox --> group restoration, it can only restore a GYB
backup to a group. You can try backing up the maibox with GYB and then
restoring from there.

restoring from mbox to group has been supported since 1.40. It should "just work" with --action restore-group and --local-folder /path/to/mall/the/mboxes
