Google Email Uploader

Google Email Uploader is a tool created by Google to make the transition to Google Apps easier. The application imports the messages and contacts stored locally in Microsoft Outlook 2002+, Outlook Express and Thunderbird to a Google Apps account. It doesn’t modify the sent dates from your messages and it converts the folders into Gmail labels. Google Email Uploader is open source and it works only in Windows XP and Windows Vista.

The uploader works in the premier edition and education version of Google Apps. If you try to use it with a standard Google Apps account or Gmail account, you’ll get this error message: “you are not authorized to use this feature”.
