Dear Bill,

Why not just use Fastmail instead of Inbox.com? You can change the generating system target address so that the messages are directly sent to a Fastmail alias for new messages
For reasons to complex to go into here, I cannot change email right now. In the future it may be possible. Fastmail does not seem to have the same slow rate of transfer, though I have way more messages with large attachments in the Inbox.com so it may not be a fair comparison.

Then import the existing messages to your Fastmail account via a big IMAP transfer:

Since you are importing the messages using IMAP (similar to an IMAP client), they should be in correct format rather than using forwarding headers.
This is fascinating and was unknown to me before. I will try an experiment with some unimportant emails that have large attachments to see if the header and time stamp is affected. Thank you for telling me about this feature that I would never have suspected existed.
