I have a situation where an old Email client is being retired.  That client
stored email in folder structures.  Each Email is a separate file which I
believe remains in the POP3 format in which it was downloaded.  The goal is
to treat the Email as a company resource that can be accessed by anyone who
has a need to see it.

I am thinking of several options and open to suggestions:

   - Process the contents of each folder into an individual text file and
   store that file on the local server where appropriate users can see it.
   - Process the contents of a folder into a format that can be imported
   into a company generic Gmail account along with an origin label. Users with
   the proper clearance could then access the original Email from the generic
   account.

I assume that I am not the first person dealing with this situation.  The
simplest solution might be something off the shelf that does not involve
coding at all.  Otherwise - I know the text portion of the files is easily
manipulated in VFP.  Handling attachments may be much more difficult.  I
have no experience in interfacing with Gmail.

Ultimately I would like to allow a user with a Gmail account to apply a
specific label to an Email in her/his environment and have that Email
automatically copied to the appropriate generic company email account.
This would put information that others need where they can see it without
copying multiple people.  It should allow deleting a users account without
loosing company information.

Any input welcome!

Thanks in advance,

Joe
