I found a way to use thunderbird, I setup both gmail accounts in thunderbird and copy drag all mails to new gmail adres, issue I have is that the sent mails “send to” labels are incorrect.

There is an easier way to get the correct “To:” label in Sent Mail than rewriting every email. (That feels like falsifying records to me…) You can just add the old email address as a “Send Mail as:” address.

Thanks for the post, very useful. I’m considering extending this into a more friendly app for people.

I also get the problem as vito botta:
“Can’t locate object method “EOF” via package “IO::Socket::SSL::SSL_HANDLE” at /usr/share/imapsync//Mail/IMAPClient.pm line 1721″

Which causes the script to stop.

Also, Is there a way to make it completely skip messages it has transferred before? When I restart it, it spends a long time scanning through messages it has already synced. Thankfully, it doesn’t create duplicates, but it does waste a lot of time scanning…

Great tutorial. I used this to move gmail to new gmail and it work flawlessly. Only cost $1.25 for a 1GB mailbox and setup time on the Fedora 8 Devel ami. Thanks!

I fixed the problem. Well not entirely fixed it, a mere workaround.
I used a ubuntu 8.04 boot cd and booted up the live environment.
Install imapsync as described earlier Morgan Storey:
——–
#apt-get install imapsync make unzip lynx
#sudo cpan
cpan> install Date::Manip
Then drop back to standard prompt and:
./run-imapsync

note: I did have to escape the @’s in the regex bit by putting a slash in front, eg: user\@gmail.com
——-

It seems to be working now.
