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

Hi, great guide, one problem though, I have tried this in entourage and the messages have uploaded but lost the date info – so all appear as if they were sent on the day I uploaded to gmail. Any ideas how to keep them arranged?

The first couple of drag’n'drops I had to do in small chunks otherwise the connection dropped, but then for some reason it stabilized and I just dumped the rest (90%) in one go.
I enabled IMAP for my gmail account online in gmail settings, then created an account in Windows Mail for my gmail address as per Zoli’s instructions. Once you do this, it will ask if you want to synchronize folders, then all my gmail folders appeared in Outlook, one for each label in gmail. I had created a label online called ‘transfer’ to dump the .eml files into.

I also have fibromyalgia and I want to know your take on its relation to auto immune conditions. I know it has officially been removed from the list of auto immune diseases (that’s what some say), but I know it is definitely related. I found it interesting that you didn’t include it in this blog.

“Would you say that the websites that require 200+ posts before allowing for links in the signature will give you better traffic, then basic forum that lets you post links in your signature right away?”

I don´t believe so. By the way: During the time needed to make 200+ post you could already have created 200+ links with forums that let you post links in your signature right away

@emlwinmail
I discovered this great post this morning (thankyou Zoli!) and successfully transferred gigabytes of archived .eml files in my Windows Mail local folders over to my gmail account. The first couple of drag'n'drops I had to do in small chunks otherwise the connection dropped, but then for some reason it stabilized and I just dumped the rest (90%) in one go.
I enabled IMAP for my gmail account online in gmail settings, then created an account in Windows Mail for my gmail address as per Zoli's instructions. Once you do this, it will ask if you want to synchronize folders, then all my gmail folders appeared in Outlook, one for each label in gmail. I had created a label online called 'transfer' to dump the .eml files into.
Since all my .eml files are in my Windows Mail local folders, in Windows Mail I just dragged those emails across to my 'transfer' folder under 'imap.gmail.com' top folder in Windows Mail. Then the local and online folders synchronize.
Hope the layman's description is helpful. I was totally lost until I found Zoli's post.
