We had been using gMove in the office, testing the feasibility to switch our organization over to Google Apps. We purchased some licenses to use the product by LimitNone on machines, as there were no other solutions available at the time (10/2007). It was disappointing that Google had not yet developed the ability to migrate mail. Now using IMAP it seems rather easy. I checked the Google Code site http://code.google.com/p/google-email-uploader/downloads/list but did not find any downloads available... This is an extremely interesting story to emerge.

Doing "due diligence" on a small company while discussing their acquisition is the oldest trick in the book. Send in your engineers to see how it works, then let the deal fall apart and build the tool. Anyone else here remember Microsoft and Stacker? Usually the big company can afford to just hold off the lawsuit until the little company runs out of cash to pursue it. Or the little company gets bought as part of a settlement at a much lower amount. But frankly I don't see what's so hard about migrating from Outlook to Gmail. Seems like a pretty straightfoward piece of code to write.
