Having worked on an email client app before, that would definitely be effective. Retrieving and processing a decade worth of email is a huge pain in the ass that takes quite a long time (just retrieving the message bodies from GMail took at least an hour).



I did after about 18 minutes which did limit the import to just the most recent emails. Phew!


I suspect Fleep is actually just importing the most recent emails, as that's what the flow said it wanted the permission for.


You're right and actually the CEO reached out and clarified this. I have updated my post to try and better reflect the problem.
