I never leave comments on any thing – but I'm so thrilled – thank you for sharing this. I spent the past 2 hours searching and scoring all over the interweb to find how to do this – downloaded googleloader/etc and this was SO easy & simple & perfect, THANK YOU!!!!!

I am in your debt – I have been messing around with this, and finally got serious. I have an older laptop, and I just wanted to wear my belt and suspenders. This method works perfect – I took all my mail, properly sorted in folders, in one Gmail account, configured my Google Apps account, did the drag and drop of my folders, then talked to my daughter while IMAP took care of business. Fabulous! Thanks a million.

When I drag and drop from my Outlook sent folder into the IMAP Gmail folder, and then I go to Gmail on the web, the list in the Sent Mail box shows for every message as "To:me" instead of "To" the person to whom I had sent the message originally. Only if I open up the individual email does it show the person to whom I had sent the email originally. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks!

well im having the same “wrong dates imported problem” the fact is i noticed that when in my inbox the email actually says “10:55″ as time received and is dated as today, but if i go into the emails content and expand the details it actually says the correct date!!! is there a way of possibly telling gmail this is the correct date? please let me know

For those experiencing problems with the upload date being shown as the datestamp in the inbox, I was originally having this problem when I dragged my emails directly into Theunderbird 3. The date was still showing up correctly in the email, but the inbox date was incorrect.

However, when I first created a local folder and dragged all the emails in that, THEN moved them into the “All Mail” folder, the emails synced with the correct date. Not sure why this would be, but it’s sorted out now
