I’m nearly done evaluating my potential move from hosted Exchange to Google and it looks like the last piece of my puzzle just fell into place. Since I’ve used Exchange for nearly three years, I have a fair amount of current and archived mail on the server with no easy way to move it onto Google. Or so I thought. LimitNone offers a Windows application called gMOVE which migrates your Outlook data to Google; the app in $19 for a limited time and a free trial will migrate 100 mail messages as a test.I’ll be doing the test simply because $19 for what’s essentially a one-time use application needs to work 100% for my buck. However, I’m already keenly interested in it because it doesn’t just move your mail: it will tag your mail with Gmail labels using Outlook folder names. This is key for me since I’ve had an organizational scheme going for three years and I’d hate to completely lose it. Even better: gMOVE migrates calendar items, contacts and tasks as well. I’m set on the Contacts, having grabbed my free copy of Entourage just yesterday and then exporting my contacts to a text file (something you can do natively with Outlook as well, of course). Once I’ve got this test complete, I’ll write up a final thoughts on Exchange vs. Gmail since Mike and others are curious to see what I’ve decided.(via Google Operating System)
