Last week I signed up one of my clients to Google Business (paid account), but until that point she was using a regular free gmail account and has about 8GB of emails in that account that we would like to be moved into the Google Apps account.
I looked it up online and it seems the best way to do this is by simply enabling POP3 and telling the new business account to fetch the POP3 emails from the old gmail account. When I did that Gmail wouldn't allow me to "leave emails on server after download" but that's fine, as long as they were in the new mail box I didn't need them in the old one. I enabled it and it started working, seemed to be doing great for a couple of days but now it has stopped. I received a bunch of error messages about emails being the wrong size (which doesn't make sense, how can they be the wrong size for one gmail account but ok in another) and now the latest email in the new account is from 2012. There are 3 years of emails that it just won't port over. Any idea on how to get those emails to come over? Oh - and another thing - it didn't seem to have deleted the emails from the old account. So now I'm worried I'll get duplicates if I move them over with another method. Any help would be appreciated.
