Easy-Email

If you have your old emails stored in Thunderbird 2.0 you will probably want to copy them to Gmail. This will make the emails available to any client you synchronize with Gmail.

This is easy to do.

For the special folders (Inbox, Sent Items/Mail, Drafts, Trash, Spam and Starred) you have to select all the emails in the folder and drag them to the corresponding folder under your new My Mail (IMAP) account.

Or if you want to copy emails to a folder with a different name you also need to select all the emails in the original folder and drag them into the new folder.

Hint! Ctrl + A selects all emails in the current folder.

For folders you have created yourself (i.e. not the Inbox etc.) you can copy them simply by dragging them into My Mail (IMAP) in the folder view.
