Migrating emails from Gmail to new email server (lemmy.ml)

I came across mention of IMAPSync and Larch as tools to move emails out of Gmail to a new email account. Does anyone have any experience using these?

I have a family’s worth of email gmail accounts all of which are running out of space and will need to be moved to a new email provider. They would of course all like to keep their historical sent and recieved emails.

Imapsync works well, have uses it hundreds of times on massive accounts. Not with Gmail specifically though. I'd imagine you would lose labels.
