I know that if you set up a new Google Email account with various "labels" first and then a new local IMAP email client (like Thunderbird) second, when you connect for the first time your "Labeled" Google mail will show up/ download in Thunderbird as Folders with the same name as the labels. All sorted so to speak.

Does anyone know if you do it the other way around... if you have a Tbird POP account with various folders on your local machine tied to your domain name being served up by some ISP and you change the domain named server mail to be/ to forward to a Google email account, when they sync for the first time will all your Thunderbird POP folders be synced/ uploaded on to Gmail's server as "Labels" archived or otherwise?

I suspect not because of the difference between POP and IMAP but what I am REALLY curious to know is once the connection is made and an IMAP Google acct. has been configed in Tbird, will I be able to simply drag the folders on the client machine from the POP local Tbird client folders to the local Tbird's Google IMAP account folders and then will Google server see them/ upload/ sync them and accept them as labeled perhaps archived mail?

Has anyone done this before?
