Perhaps something that explains which data is currently being worked on, like: Migrating Inbox... Migrating Drafts... Migrating Passwords... etc. That way, you would see things happening. This IMO makes it much easier for a Human to wait on a machine to finish.

Mine took much longer that 30 minutes but I have an unreasonably large amount of mail in my Local Folders. It did appear to hang with no indication of progress. I put my hands in my pockets took a walk and got another cup of coffee. It did eventually transfer everything with no errors. Perhaps a progress indicator might be in order.

Maybe it's normal that the wizard stays 'not responding' for long periods and I should just have waited longer? This is most likely the case. Please understand that when the program is busy, it will appear to not be responding to the operating system. This does not mean the program is hung. The time it will take depends on the speed of the machine and the amount of data to migrate. I've heard others say it took quite a few minutes (30 minutes comes to mind).
