Hi Ron, The mail migration tools are not supported on this forum, please use http://support.google.com/a/?hl=en. FYI, we also have an Email Migration API ( http://code.google.com/googleapps/domain/email_migration/developers_guide_protocol.html) that allows developers to write their own migration software and the API is supported here. Thanks
