I'm moving a friend from HostGator email (IMAP) to Google Apps for business. There are three email accounts going into two google accounts, around 2GB of email and 20,000 messages. They don't mind if only the past year of email goes across.I've been using the Google Apps migration system but: - It's incredibly slow (24 hours to get to 90% if it gets that far). Right now it's averaging about 1-2 emails per MINUTE. It was doing better yesterday. - It freezes before it finishes, anywhere between 10% and 95%You can run it more than once but it starts again, though fortunately email isn't duplicated. I've asked Google for support but it may take a while.I've considered: - Thunderbird : drag and drop (uses my bandwidth, will probably create duplicates) - ImapSync: command line, can't be bothered - GAMME: think it relies on Outlook which I don't haveAnyone have any thoughts/advice/experience? I'll possibly have to give up on the Google Migration, use Thunderbird, and they'll have to accept duplicates :(
