Librarians constantly run into this... there is a striking quote ... somebody tweaks it a little to make it more like what they like, then it is attributed to someone, usually famous, or relevant to what somebody thinks the quote is about. These things unravel all the time once somebody looks for proper attribution. But I was looking this one up because of the dust up over the resume of the CEO of Yahoo. He went to Stone Hill College--check out the top of their computer science page!

Just want to say how thankful I am to your post! Just migrated over 15000 emails over 3 days. I am more ready for the email migration than my colleagues who are force to just convert their old email from lotus to PST and access it on outlook and also access Google Apps with Outlook. ACCESS GOOGLE APPS WITH OUTLOOK!?!?!?!?!?!? Glad I do not have to do that. Really really a very big thank you!

Re: Science Question: If the universe is expanding at an accelerating pace – is gravity’s effect on time the culprit?

benshoemate — Mon, 02 Apr 2012 13:08:39 -0000

That is almost impossible to think about. Since our definition of speed relies on time, a slowing of time while expansion occurs at the same "speed" or pace is not possible because of the definition of speed - we would need a new definition of speed to think about it that way.

I often think that if time slowed or even stopped for a few billion years and then started again, we would never know since we are "in the flow" of time. God could pause the game, go grab a snack, and come back and we here in the game, would never know or ever even have the chance of knowing unless we somehow find away to access the system clock, a definition of time that is outside the universe. Something that, since we really can not detect or really even conceive of, I have no clue what it might be. But if you think of something outside the universe we can tune our clocks to, let me know.

Nimmer — Sun, 01 Apr 2012 15:05:12 -0000

Following the big bang we have speed and distance and thus time. Now let’s imagine that the universe is actually slowing down in its expansion. This slowing down actually effecting time it self. If time were to slow down would the expansion appear to be speeding up?

Wonderful! I myself also was quite annoyed by the fact that the quote most likely was not by einstein and some fools hade set about befouling his name with wrongful quoatation (smitten be thee by the lord!)

Jokes set aside, good work. I applaude you.

The point of this approach is that you are creating a local email "server" on you computer. Gmail will retreive the email from it, just like it would from any other account. In gmail settings you can see the configuration to pull from a pop3 or imap account. Once your sure your computer is accessable to the internet - gmail can do it.

Hello,

I am not sure if someone will still react to this post.

From all the posts, it seems that Gmail won't take the folder over. Could someone confirm this?

I have thousands of mails in Outlook. They are in several folders. So, not all the mais are in the inbox. I understand all the part to get the mails in the Mercury IMAP account.

My point is, since Google use POP3 how can he retrive the mails trhat are in folders?

Thanks in advance for any response.

Thanks for your reply! I did put them in the inbox, and they were all unread. Gmail logged in but left two seconds later without fetching them unfortunatley.

Right now I'm trying the go-via-gmx-solution advised in one of the comments - seems to work just fine but I really liked your approach to it and would've liked to get it to work.

benshoemate — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 10:47:04 -0000

Make sure they are in the main inbox of the user. you will have to move them where gmail will look. Try it with a few to see if gmail will take them - drag them to main inbox, mark them as unread, I forget exactly. But gmail is thinking of this as another mailbox. Also check gmail settings to see if there is a "get all old mail" option.

Hey Ben,

Thank you for a great tutorial! I have one problem:

I have moved my old e-mails (11GB+) to Thunderbird (first into local folders), set up a few accounts Mercury, added those to Thunderbird and moved all the mails to the inboxes of the Mercury accounts.

Now when Gmail connects to Mercury it seems to work but disconnects after two seconds (according to the Mercury log) and fetches no e-mails.

Do you have any idea why this happens? It is almost as if Gmail thinks there are no messages on these accounts. (But when checking in Thunderbird there are thousands in each inbox.)

I've read through the comments on your post and've tried creating yet another account in Mercury, added it to Gmail while empty and then moved messages into that accounts inbox but Gmail still doesn't fetch any mails.

Any help would be much appreciated! Best regards,
- Jonas
