Hiding the automatic All Mail, Misc, Follow-up, etc folders was helpful for those who were not familiar with gmail.Mail.app seems to be a lot slower with multiple folders. Gmail doesn’t seem to handle lots of folders (labels) well.Clearing all Mail.app support / cache files and adding the mailbox with message + attachment cache disabled fixed the issue (after mail downloaded I enabled cache again). I had a problem with one Mac machine (10.6) where the inbox would randomly appear blank.This might be an isolated issue with Lion.

Mail.app folder doesn’t update folder’s unread count immediately.Doesn’t handle folder hierarchy (flattens everything). It wouldn’t pickup mail on some computers.

The Google Mail Uploader application for Mac is not consistent.

The server migration tool pulled in some calendar events that employees claimed they deleted long ago.

It works fairly well assuming you have an updated version of Outlook 2007 or higher. There isn’t much example code available, and to my surprise I couldn’t find any VB script to export a CSV of all the rules associated with an outlook account! I hacked together a really rough VB script which exports Outlook rules (only one rule type right now, thats all I needed for my use case) as a CSV and then wrote a small ruby script to generate a XML doc of the rules for import via Gmail’s import / export available through Gmail labs. There is an API in Outlook 2007 or higher that enabled access to rules. This would waste many hours of valuable time so I started hunting for a better solution. There is no built in way to getting any sort of list or descriptions of the rules, if one wanted to transition the rules manually they would have to click on a rule, look at the pop-up window, and recreate the rules in Gmail using the filters functionality – repeating this two step process for each rule. Outlook does not have any method in place for extracting those rules.

Many employees used those rules extensively and many had 50-100 rules.

However, the one piece that was missing was a good tool to transition outlook server rules. The transition tools that Google has in place are pretty good, albeit slow for that many emails, Google throttles email transfer to one each second after the first 500. Moving close to half a million emails to a new email service was a big decision. Recently I was part of transitioning the email system of a 20+ employee business off of a Microsoft Exchange 2003 server to Google Apps.
