Perhaps instead of zips, its wiser to figure out how Mbox format works, so that its easier to import the emails.

Here is a gist for sorting your mails into the right labels:

const fromTo = {
  '[email protected]': 'tools',
  '[email protected]': 'tools',
  '[email protected]': 'tools',
  '@am.atlassian.com': 'tools',
  'atlassian.net': 'tools',
  '@expensify.com': 'money',
  '[email protected]': 'money'
}

const senderTo = {
  'google': 'calendar',
  'expensify': 'money'
}

function moveTo (thread, label) {
  thread.addLabel(GmailApp.getUserLabelByName(label))
  thread.moveToArchive()
  console.log(label, ' → ', thread.getFirstMessageSubject())
} 

function checkSender (thread, sender) {
    for (const name in senderTo) {
      sender.includes(name) && moveTo(thread, senderTo[name])
    }
}

function checkPeople (thread, messages) {
    const people = [...new Set(messages.map(msg => [msg.getFrom(), msg.getCc(), msg.getBcc()]).flat().filter(x => x))]
    for (const from in fromTo) {
      people.some(person => person.includes(from)) && moveTo(thread, fromTo[from])
    }
}

function emailSorter() {
  const inbox = GmailApp.getInboxThreads()
  for (const thread of inbox) {  
    const messages = thread.getMessages()
    const sender = messages[0].getHeader('Sender')
    sender ? checkSender(thread, sender) : checkPeople(thread, messages)
  }
}
