Some emails fails to import

[vetoes]

I have recently imported all of my emails from Gmail to iCloud but four emails failed to import. One email had rendering error (Cannot parse) and other three were too big in size (iCloud file limit is lower).

How can I import those emails anyway? I tried to trick it by dragging emails to my mailbox when offline but Apple remove it from mailbox once online.

What options do I have here?

Too big: Go into Gmail (web interface or Apple Mail) and create new emails each with part of the "too big" ones and, if you want, some explanatory text referring to sender, date, etc. of originals. Send them to iCloud address. The iCloud limit is 20MB. Won't be quite that same but you will have the content.

Rendering error: Try forwarding it from Gmail - that might be sufficient. Otherwise sends bits of it (from gmail) until you discover the offending bit.

Another way (if it fits your workflow): Using Apple Mail and gmail, copy the mail from gmail folders to folders/mailboxes within Apple Mail in the "On My Mac" mailbox.

I am sure there are other ways, but that is where I would start.
