Guide & associated scripts for migrating Princeton campus email account/all accounts associated with the email.

Princeton Email Converter

What?

A step-by-step guide (and Python script) to export all emails from your Princeton inbox, and also to find all websites that your Princeton account was used to sign up for.

When?

Senior email accounts will deactivate Thursday, August 8, 2019 (65 days after graduation), and will continue forwarding until June 4, 2020.

How?

Downloading your Gmail inbox

1. Sign in to your Princeton Google Account and navigate to https://takeout.google.com/.
2. In the "Create a New Archive" wizard, deselect all options and only select "Mail."
3. In the "Customize Archive Format" section, keep the selected defaults.
4. Click "Create Archive" and wait for it to finish, and download the compiled .zip file (note: this could take several hours or even days depending on the size of the inbox)

Extracting all accounts associated with the email

1. Extract all archives into one folder (here we'll call it email_dir/)
2. Run the associated python script (TODO)
