Re: [mythtv-users] Import archives into Gmail
I have had some luck with thunderbird. You can set gmail to allow pop access. You can download the entire archive and copy the mail file into a pre-existing thunderbird mail dir. It does kind of get unwieldy though, but doable. Jim On Thu, 24 Mar 2005 15:56:48 -0500, Larry K <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Has anyone tried to import the archives into Gmail?

I read the interesting tidbits as they come through on this account, then delete them to unclutter my mailbox. I signed up with my gmail address quite a while ago as well. At present, my personal MythTV archive is approximately 245Meg! For my personal case, I have an archive in Gmail because I delete all the posts that don't apply to my setup (out of this subscription address), but I may run into something later and need to search/reply/beg for help. Using Gmail is great for that, so I don't have to break the thread; that way people who search later will have an easier time of it. I hear what you're saying and you're right to an extent. Setting up a gmail account to archive is a good idea, but if you're just starting your personal archive, it'd be nice to have an option to import a (recent?) backlog of archives rather than starting from scratch. --PhillW ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

Re: [mythtv-users] Import archives into Gmail
Jarod, the link in yur sig does work, but the advantage of gmail for threading, replying, and searching cannot be denied. I'm glad to see I'm not the only one interested in this. More interest in this means a solution is more likely. :) On Fri, 25 Mar 2005 09:42:09 +, Phill Wiggin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > The problem w/ gossamer is that you can't reply directly to the posts > you're reading.

Re: [mythtv-users] Import archives into Gmail
The problem w/ gossamer is that you can't reply directly to the posts you're reading. I use gmail for archiving and it's fantastic! If I want to ask a question or offer advice about something I've read, I don't have to start a new thread using gmail. Using gossamer, I have to copy-paste the text of the old message and fragment the thread. (Also, Gmail's threading is a bit easier to navigate in my opinion.) Larry: If you find a way to import the archive (especially a date-range of archives), please let us know. I'd much rather be able to search gmail once than search gmail then go to gossamer for the older posts. --Phill W.

Re: [mythtv-users] Import archives into Gmail
That's a good point, but I too was hoping to find something to do this. The GML utility doesn't seem to cut it (read: work at all). However, I don't think this really is an issue that this particular list would have a great deal of experience with, maybe the actual gmail mail list will have some insight? The Gossamer-Threads have been a great tool, and I guess I will just have to keep on using them.

Re: [mythtv-users] Import archives into Gmail
I say just get a new gmail account and sign up for the list in single-message mode after a few months you'll practically have your own archive!
