Re: Import your old Outlook/Express PSTs to Gmail

Hallelujah! Praise the lord! This article was my salvation. I'm leaving my job tomorrow, and wanted to transfer my personal emails to gmail. Not only did this work like a charm (and was WAY simpler than other work-arounds -- I found this one by limiting Google search to previous six months only), I was able to move only the few folders I wanted. And I could do this all myself without asking my Ph.D. engineering professor husband. Thank you!

One more note: Be very careful not to delete any imap.gmail.com folders in Outlook as you're transferring. Copy the emails instead of moving them. Or give the new folder a different name on gmail so you can tell them apart.

I moved some mail from an Outlook folder over to imap.gmail.com. I gave the new folder the same name as the old one. I got distracted for a few minutes. Then, I came back to Outlook and deleted the folder, thinking I was deleting the old, now-empty Outlook version. Instead, I was deleting the new folder on imap.gmail, along with all the mail. There is no way to recover or undo this, at least that I could find. It's just gone. Luckily, it was not terribly important stuff.

Too bad you're in Wooster and I'm on West Coast. I could loan you my lovely Nutcracker VHS of the New York City Ballet featuring Mikhail Barishnikov and Gelsey Kirkland. Really amazing. (However, it sort of spoils one for the local Nutcrackers.)

Thanks again for fabulous gmail/Outlook mail transfer work-around!
