Hi Tomas,

I'm afraid I have nothing further to offer regarding the message counts,
other than to say we noticed various inconsistencies and quirks as well
relating to duplicates, labels, and other things. Its been over six months
since we completely our migrations so I'm sketchy on the details. I'll see
if I can find anything else out about our workarounds but it sounds like you
have things well in hand.

I can't remember our exact throughput, but we used to tell our customers to
expect a wait of about two hours for an "average" mailbox, which was about
300MB. It usually completed much faster than that though. It should be noted
that this was using the old "batch" migration API, which is 4-10x faster
than the current multipart API (a fact I once confirmed with support).

Cheers,
Rob.
