Is there a limit to the number of accounts you can import to Gmail? I’m trying to archive the contents of 9 pop boxes. The first 5 came in, but the last 4 gave me “This account cannot be imported right now. Please try again later.” It’s been three days, and still no change.

Gmail supports IMAP now…
1) enable it in Gmail’s settings
2) add the Gmail IMAP account to the Outlook client as a new account…
3) drag and drop your existing emails into the Gmail account

Messages show up in gmail with the original date, sender, etc.

I’ve moved 2GB of mail over this way, needless to say – do it overnight!

I actually use Gmail now for my current project. But, I believe for security and monitoring reasons, have been told to archive locally as well.

Just one question here and someone may have answered this elsewhere but:

I need a way to create a local repository of all my gmail emails. You mentioned in your story to use Outlook. I have a few issues with that:

1) Can the outlook repository be accessed without the outlook software? Is there any way of storing a repository locally without reliance on any particular software suite or open source software suite?

2) Outlook is relatively unsecure isn’t it? How safe would it be to copy sensitive emails from Gmail to Outlook?

3) What’s the procedure for it? Do you have a details story of how to do it or is it DIY simple?

4) Does the copy process preserve date timestamps?

If you can answer any or all of these questions, please let me know!
