Subfolders to nested labels #22

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Create Entourage or Mac Mail boxes with Folders and Sub-folders - and just 
for fun Sub-Sub-folders.
2. Populate said folders with some messages
3. Enabled Nested Label (google apps lab)
4. Use google-mail-uploader-mac to migrate your email to google apps.

- Expected: Subfolders in email client will be migrated to corresponding nested 
labels.

- Actual:  All Subfolders are migrated to root labels, vs nested labels.

- Using google-email-uploader-mac 1.1.2
- Tested on Mac OS X 10.4 (PPC), OSX 10.6 (Intel)
- Tested using MacMail 3 and Entourage 2004 & 2008

This is a huge issue for users who have spent years keeping their current 
client email organized into folders and sub-folders.  We need an easy way to 
have sub-folders migrated to nested labels.
The current tool flattens out the sub-folders to root labels, vs nested labels. 
 This should be an easy fix/feature add.  And will probably increase userbase 
if migration to google apps is not so painful.

 Google refuses to support this.  I did develop my own method to do this on my own time though.  So problem solved without 'google support'.
Funny because this seems like a no-brainer common user migration scenario.

Would you mind sharing your strategy?  I would like to move into my Google Apps 
account but I have 8 years and 8GB's of Entourage on my laptop that I can not 
simply smash into a single Inbox folder.

Hi brian2bu, Could you share your method of Migrating Apple Mail or Entourage 
Mail to Google Apps? Thank you in advance.
