I am trying to move my emails from the Gmail to Yahoo Business using FireFox Thunderbird. the total number of emails is around 1,000,000 email. I was able to download them using IMAP and now trying to upload them to the new platform which is Yahoo Small Business. I am using the MOVE feature but for some reason the connection is interrupted so I need to start over. is there a way where Thunderbird remove each email after moving it which makes me proceed with the rest instead of starting over from scratch?

Please help

See this topic about uploading mass numbers of messages to IMAP servers:

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1331879

Consider whether you need to have all 1M messages on the IMAP server, instead of accessing them from Local Folders.
