Once you configure your Gmail account for IMAP (using Gmail's web
interface), you then set it up in Evo as an IMAP account and then move
your mail across.

1. I have enabled IMAP in my gmail account. All that was involved there
was going into "settings" and selecting "enable IMAP". I am guessing
this is what is meant by "configure your Gmail account for IMAP", right?

Yes.

2. You have then instructed to "set it up in Evo as an IMAP account". I
see in the account settings of evo, under "receiving mail", one can
change it from POP to IMAP. The full settings which I found in the gmail
help pages are below, at the *. Please confirm this is what is needed.

As long as you followed the settings exactly, that should be fine.

3. You have instructed-- "then move your mail across"-- "move your mail
from the old Evo into an IMAP account (using drag and drop or ImapSync)"

I went to the ImapSync website, but it looks like one has to purchase
that for 50 Euros.

I hadn't noticed the new charge on that site. Try this one:

https://fedorahosted.org/imapsync/

So I thought I would try the drag and drop. But I
still don't understand where in the gmail account I am supposed to drag
the mail to. You already instructed that it is not the actual gmail
account itself.

I don't understand what you think I said about "the actual Gmail
account". Please point out the part that you find confusing.

This is what I could not understood. If the browser window is not to be
pointed at Gmail, then what is it to be pointed at? Please pardon my
foolishness-- I am just not at all familiar with the scenario you are
describing.

Please let me know exactly where using the drag and
drop, I am to place all the mail folders.

Wherever you like. Create a new folder ("label" in Gmail terminology)
and just put it there. Refresh folder subscriptions in Evo so it will
see the new folder with your mail in it.

If I am not supposed to create this new folder (or "label") in my GMail
account, as indicated above, then I'm afraid I still could not
understand where this new folder is supposed to be. You have said
"Create a new folder and just put it there"-- but I am not following
where this "there" is, if not in the gmail GUI mail program.

And you are saying that once I create that folder--wherever it is
supposed to be--I will then be able to see that folder in my evo GUI on
my desktop, correct?
