I am currently using TB 4.0.24. I also have a gmail account which I have set to IMAP. I have a large archive of messages in TB that I would like to get on the gmail server. I hope that there is a more efficient way to do it than I am doing. Let me start off by saying that I know virtually nothing about IMAP.
The procedure I followed was to set up my GMAIL account in TB as an IMAP account. It has folders in it, of course, that correspond to my GMAIL labels. I have many thousands of emails in TB that I want to put into my GMAIL account. This is what I am doing. Let's say I have a TB folder called X which has 5000 emails in it. (Some folders have less, some have up to 50,000 emails). I have created a GMAIL label called X which in TB showns as folder under my Gmail account called X. I start up TB. I do not have the GMAIL account set up to syncronize. (I don't really care if what is in my gmail account is in TB...I mostly just want to get my TB archive into Gmail). I go to my X folder in TB and select a group of emails (or all of them) and drag them to the X folder under the Gmail. Sometimes, this works fine and in short order the messages are in the Gmail account. Other times nothing happens. Sometimes I can get it going by clicking on the Gmail account in TB and saying Connect to Server. Other times I do that and nothing happens. Regardless, it seems to move 50 to 200 messages and then quits. Sometimes if I close TB and restart it then it will start moving messages again. For example I have spent this entire day trying to move 11000 messages from one folder in TB to the Gmail folder. I have succeeded in moving 4500. Given that I have about several hundred thousand messages this is way too slow. Anyway to speed this up? ________________________________________________ Current version is 4.1.11 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
