When the first OAuth2 thing hit last year, I changed every account to IMAP.  I have found it a great asset.
Just a week ago I tried something and lost my system.  I had morning backups but had done a good amount of emails and responses and received

The reload took only a bit and the instant TB was launch, as much as it was a bit outdated, all the folders got in sync.  Fabulous.
