I want to find a way to forward multiple email messages from my work
email account to gmail for storage. By this, I mean that I want the
messages in gmail to appear listed individually in the same way that
they are received in my work email.
Why? Because my work email has a strict limit of 50 MB for all
messages
combined -- inbox, trash, sent, drafts, etc. If the quota is exceeded,
the work email ceases to function. (When exceeded, I can't even delete
trash to get under the quota.)
Let's back up a minute....what is your work using for mail client and how
are they enforcing quotas in T-Bird?
There's some information missing that might lead to a better solution.
I'm using Thunderbird at work. They don't enforce quotas with
Thunderbird. The work email account is IMAP and when it contains more
than 50 MB it is shut down at the source.
Instead of erasing all my old messages to stay underneath the quota, I
want to store them by sending the old messages to gmail for storage. In
the event that I need to find an old message, I would search the gmail
account using Thunderbird. The problem is that if I select, say, a
hundred old email messages from the work account and send them to gmail,
they arrive as one message that has been concatenated. This means
Thunderbird can't search for subject, sender, date, etc.
Is there a better solution to storing old messages?
