@nilitos – Your emails should be in Outlook…were you pressing a key on your keyboard while dragging? Did you copy and paste or cut and paste? Please let me know so that I can help you. There’s no reason why your emails would be gone from Outlook you are simply copying the files from Outlook to Gmail.

Omg man I love in the face right now. I’m friggin running around my house going hysterical. I used this to switch from my AOL shitty email to a Gmail account. Gmail is so much more versatile and stable, emails don’t get lost here. Now i can still scavenge all my old mail and it even imports mail from my old email in case some subscriptions didn’t get the memo. I love Google and I am so happy to have found this tutorial. It was simple, short, easy, and detailed. Best tutorial for this on the net and I went through lots and lots of hassle.

Hi Gil,
When I am transferring my mails to Gmail, the received items are all fine, but the sent items shows To:me it does not show the names/email to whom I have sent. Do you get the same thing?

I’ve been playing with this a lot lately. Here’s what I’ve figure out on my own.

1. The easiest way to transfer your mail if you use the Google Apps Standard edition is to use the free trial of Apps Premier. You get access to the tools for moving mail. This is useful for small organizations who are moving from exchange to Google. Cancel the trial before the 30 days are up.

2. Thunderbird moves the messages over much nicer than Outlook. By nicer, I mean you can queue up more folders while it is transferring and you get better feedback about what’s moving.

3. Unknown Sender Syndrome. This is an Exchange to G Apps issue. Easy fix is to create empty mailboxes in Exchange of the users/email addresses you are missing, then upload the email. If you are transferring from an archive folder, copy it back into Exchange then upload it.

In regards to online security of the “cloud”; your email server is probably just as easily compromised as Google’s (if not easier). Strong security practices will minimize your risk. Google is a bigger target and because of such, they work much harder to secure their servers and online services.

@Neal Hoffman: Glad to see you are back, sorry for the delayed response – vacation! This problem can usually be solved by refreshing the Gmail window in your browser or restarting the browser altogether. If the issue is still not resolved you might want to make sure that if you have any Labs features enabled, that you disable them. If none of these options work, then I would revert to the old version and wait a couple of days to try the new version. Hope this helps and good luck.

@Mang: That is what I meant and I should have included those instructions. Thank you for the feedback.
