So where do you work? No one is asking the important questions.

Amazing, I found your site on Bing looking around for something completely unrelated and I really enjoyed your site. I will stop by again to read some more posts. Thanks!

I have the same bug but my XML file comes out clean… I have erased some postmeta content though regarding a few values I had attributed to custom fields, could that be the problem?

Einstein, Jefferson, and Confucius stole all their quotes from Oscar Wilde.

I, for one, like quoting from authors I’ve read and yes, big people too. I really admire your research to find truth on this seemingly simple matter. If only everyone was as critical about truth and as inquisitive as you are then maybe we’d have better politicians holding offices, better house hold products, healthier food choices… yah, pretty much a better world in an macroscopic note. Hope you do find the real author, I think that would be a treat.

Comment on How to upload all your old archived Email to Gmail from outlook, lotus notes, and Unix (pine) by Gareth Hills

Absolutely superb post, Ben. I’m moving my parents’ email from Outlook Express to Gmail, and this is exactly the solution that I needed. Great job

In the unlikely event that someone (like me!) is using this method a full four years after it was posted, I thought I’d just share my solution to the very same problem detailed above.
In a similar way, I’d found that I was able to upload certain Mercury accounts to gmail but not others. Having redone everything, as suggested above, importing via POP into Gmail still refused to work. It finally occurred to me after a day of trying to work it out that the issue was the volume of the emails in the accounts in question.

Gmail’s window for fetching mail via POP3 is limited to 15 seconds, I believe. I was uploading all of my emails from an aging, slow 2003-era HP, and the sheer quantity of email (over 7000 in the account in question) meant that the gmail mail fetcher timed-out before it could establish the quantity of the emails in the account. At least that’s how it appeared to me.

So, the solution. I set up the accounts in Mercury, and added them to gmail as POP3 accounts BEFORE adding mail to them within Outlook Express. This way, Gmail was able to establish contact with the accounts, and get set up for POP transfer without exceeding the 15 second time-out window.

It is now 1.50am and I’m finally uploading the misbehaving emails! Hope this is helpful.
