Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

I recently went through the same process. Luckily only 6 zip files, and all but one (the one with my emails) were pretty much empty.
What really pissed me off: because i didnt log in with my current device to google yet, after i let google create the takeout it came to me like "ehh i dont know this phone yet, better wait a week to download"
A week later: "ohh seems like we only store takeouts for a week, guess you gotta do it again :("
Rinse, repeat, and after 3 weeks, i could finally get the only thing i cared about anyway: my mails
It might be too late for you, but for anyone else who stumbles across this:
The easiest way to transfer emails is just log into a client like Thunderbird, let it download them all, select all, then drag and drop them all to your new provider. If you have a lot of historic emails, filter by year and do one year at a time
