Yes, it is possible.

I'm using the command line version on Mac OS X Snow Leopard. I have just completed a backup of mail1@gmail.com. Using ./gmail-backup.sh backup backupdir mail2@gmail.com password, I'm getting:

GMail Backup revision 691 (2009-02-20)
Restoring the content of account mail2@gmail.com from backupdir
End of restoring of account mail2@gmail.com

And there's nothing in the Gmail account when I go look.

Sorry if there's a better place to post this question. I'm just at a bit of a loss, being mostly a command line noob and all.

Thanks!

Did anyone get an answer to this question? I'm having the same problem myself. I go into my new gmail account after "Restoring" my email from the old account, and there is nothing new there at all!

Did anyone get an answer to this question? I have had the same problem, using Windows 7. I have successfully backed up my email from my old gmail account, but when I try to restore it to the new gmail account, there is nothing there!

Just ran a backup and a restore to another address, it says it went successfully but the new gmail is empty.

Pretty much same issue as above.

It goes to all mail select that link on the left usually under the down arrow mine says 6 more and then you can select whatever you want to go back to inbox.

why isnt it working? i try to do restore to new mail but i see nothing. please tall me what to do and why

I thought I was experiencing an issue also. But it might be that your mail has been imported but the labels have not been applied.

You should see all your mail in the "All Mail" section.

I believe the labels are applied at the end of the restore process, so it's not until all the mail has been imported will you see them appear in your inbox.
