Is there an easy way to migrate to IMAP? That is, to get all my messages
from my desktop machine (that I've collected over the years using POP)
onto the IMAP account (gmail), with all the many, many folders?
Thanks.
Ron

I recently migrated the business backups to CrashPlan Pro, and have been
extremely happy with both the software and their support.

I'm trying to figure out IMAP and it seems that the following is true.
Let's say I sent a message from PM using the IMAP account. The message
shows up in my Sent message folder on PM. It also shows up in my Sent
message folder in the IMAP account (in this case, Gmail). But it doesn't
look like the client sees that folder. So, e.g., if I go to another
machine and use an email client, whether it be PM, or Outlook or Mail, I
won't see that sent message. Is that correct?
TIA.

No, Sent messages should show up on every client. And really don't do Gmail
with IMAP. Their IMAP implementation is weird. Besides with Gmail there isn't a
big difference between IMAP and POP.

Hi H.R.,
haven't tried it for IMAP but in general the tool is good:

The problem will be the odd 2 GB limit of PM.

You are correct. I just figure out that in PM if you expland the [Gmail]
folder, the Gmail Sent folder is there.
I don't know anything about Gmail's IMAP implementation. But regarding
Gmail, it's free and it gives you lots of storage. Regarding IMAP, I
want to be able to access my mail from multiple devices.
Those are the reasons I'm trying to switch.
